    Replacement head light fixings

    All 4 of my rhs head light tabs where broken when i crashed in the snow a couple of years back. I bodged them back on with some PU adhesive at the time but that had recently let go and the headlight was very wobbly.

    So I ordered a set of these:

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3605143899...84.m1497.l2649

    They took about a week to arrive and I fitted then today.

    I'm very impressed with them and would definitely recommend them.

      Just as well they fitted, I would hate to see you upset with that machine gun in one of your pictures. When you ordered these is it just for one side or do you get both sides. I had a look but he doesnt have anymore for sale just now.

          Can anything be done to fix the tab that the under headlight trims screw into? I am looking for a new headlight but would prefer to just fix that tab (the one by the grill on the bonnet where the screw goes in) Basically I snapped it on mine a few years ago in a crash (notice a running theme here lol) and did an araldite job but its come loose again....

                          You can also swap the ellipsoid innards into b4 headlights quite easily
