    mk2 rs 2000 lights

    Gents just going through the boxes that came with my car and came across a problem, out of the 4 lights , 2 have half mooned shaped rust in bottom of outside lamps and the other 2 one has been repaired with silicone ,well done didn't notice and the other has a large crack across it! question are there replacements out there or alternatives that people have fitted

    cheers murf.

    Any H4 5.75" headlight or H1 spotlight could be made to fit I am sure although I am no expert (or novice). It depends if you want originality...

    The outers are readily available,

    http://www.holden.co.uk/displayprodu...pCode=010.391#

    the inners are too, from the same website, but the mountings are different.

    Hope that helps.

    most of the time I've seen those kind of stuff, it's like "adaptable" ones, I think genuine are no longer available since a while.

    Someone here has re-chromed some, so it might be a solution if you find some correct bowls and non broken glasses.
    old stock can arise if you're patient and lucky...
    I've found a pair in France, one guy has a bunch of these, LHD of course, all gone now.

    The ones in the link above are the same as the originals, the inners mount differently.

    update the outers are spot and swapped straight over, the inners ive been sent are a thinner lense as original approx. 20 mm deep,so problem I have now next is keep the valeo units for inner and buy some mounts or try and source some chrome outer rings and mounts.

    Thanks murf, that would be useful, and maybe the eBay link if you have it. It could be useful for others down the line.
