    Offside/drivers 3B headlamp RHD

    As above, RHD Driver's side headlamp to fit a 1991 Coupe, this is the one where the grille stays down when you lift the bonnet

    Happy to pay postage, or if near Somerset can pick up.

    Thanks!

      3B is no good he wants the earlier Audi 90 (type 89) headlamp noted by the grill stays down when you lift the bonnet quote.

      However if you realy have a std brand new (non elipsoid) RHD 3B headlamp I'm very interested at that £50 price.

        I've already PMd Steve about this, as a 1991 vehicle it's unlikely to be the earlier type I think. Mine looks like this on the front end, albeit on a Coupe:


        According to this page a B3 *IS* a type 89, and a B4 (type 8C) is the one where the grille lifts with the bonnet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_80

          I will get the lamps out of the garage and take some pics. The part number will be on the units too.

              Your right! B3 *IS* type 89, but in the title you have put 3B rather than B3, which is what has created the confusion, as 3B is an S2 engine code that was only available with a B4 front end. A 3B headlight (from a B4 car) will not fit your B3 car.

              I hope that helps?

              I used to have a pair of B3 (type 89) headlights spare but they may have gone to the tip when i had a garage clear out, i'll take a look when im next at my Dads.

                Whoops, silly typo!

                Yes... B3/Type89 is what I'm after

                i.e. front of the coupe does NOT look like an A4

                      Cheers Tonk,

                      The one I am after looks like this:



                      and from behind:



                      The reflector is coming off the bottom corner, the adjustment motor is broken and three of 4 tabs are missing!

                      I assume you can post?

                      fingers crossed the images work....?

                      Cheers,


                      Pete.
