New headlight advice

I want to replace the passenger site headlight as it is very rusty! . Any suggestions on who I should buy from? I would like to do the job myself. Is this something a novice can do and is there any legal stuff I need to do like alignment?

Van is a 1988 2.1 T25.

Thanks

The light unit is just screwed to the mounting frame by 3 small screws. No re-adjustment needed

Buy a cheap round H4 Hella light 2nd hand from ebay or put a wanted on here and throw that one in a skip

Nice one. Will put a request in Wanted, and keep an eye on ebay. Cheers.

…also, would it be worth popping some of these in while i'm replacing the headlights?

Cheers

VW Heritage have Hella lights, both sealed and semi sealed. Quite a good price I thought - I just converted mt Beetle to the semi-sealed type :-)
