Hello everyone, I have a question on behalf of a friend (he's not signed up himself yet!)

He has a LHD bus which he's taking over to France permanently, so he's looking at scrapping the plastic beam converters and getting some new headlamps with the European beam pattern. I've had a trawl about in the web and so far have only found 1 supplier (Cool Air VWs). I don't suppose anyone out there an point me in the right direction so he can shop about a bit? )
Cheers!

ive seen a few pairs on ebay,give it a try there might be a pair there

I have a pair of LHD square headlights.If he wants to do a swap.

I got mine from WAGONBUILD for £130 for each compleate assembly.
Getting the van registered was a long paper trail but it is now done.
Regards Kenny.

Am I misreading the OP?
If it is a LHD with plastic beam deflectors all that is needed is to remove the deflectors as they will already be set up for Frogland.
Or is something else meant?

I read it as.He has put beam benders on his RHD lights.For when hes in france.

it's a bit ambiguous to be honest.
LHD with anti dazzlers
OR...LHD with RHD lights anti dazzlers when abroad

Yes ..we need clarification but.......

If he has a L/H/Drive bus with the original headlamps fitted then he already has the correct lamps and beam pattern for Europe.

And as he is using beam benders in this country the above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Must be correct.

Hi all, and thanks for the responses! My mistake... I meant RHD. Sorry to have caused any confusion! ROB - very kind of you to offer a swap, but he's got round ones! And Kenny, thanks for the heads up on the paper trail!

Cheers all! )

That's cleared that up then

Simple option would be to buy new healamps from a French or German supplier, e.g. Serial Kombi or Gunzl.

Don't know if you need to change just the headlamp, or the mounting bracket as well?

WANTED ADD

As many imports are swapped from L/H/D to R/H/D and Rounds are very cheap anyway, I'm guessing there will be someone with a couple of round L/H/D units sitting on a shelf in their garage.
Put a wanted in the wanted section.

There is a trader here at Camper jam who has too good L/H/D drives lamps 4 sale,,£10 a piece.

Martin

Tooooooo late. could have picked them up for you.

Martin

He's all sorted now thanks. Bought a pair from Cool Air VW and having them posted to France. The lucky beggar has two weeks off work!
