[Wanted: Parts] RHD Head lights for pink 71 westy

[Dolly Rocker]

Hi everyone,
How are you all today?
Just putting up a post for advice .I am looking for a set of RHD head lamps for my pink 71 westy .I tried last autumn to pick some up but was unsuccessful due to lack of availability from Irish suppliers they are fairly pricey but the advice given was to obtain the set as opposed to the stickers am looking at UK suppliers as it has been so difficult to obtain these lights over the last couple of months. Does anyone know a supplier i can buy these lights from?
cheers everyone have a great weekend!!
Dolly

Jon White in VW Spares.ie is a great guy to deal with.

If you do go with a UK supplier I've always found Machine 7 very good to deal with.

Mind you I ran my yoke with the old LHD sealed beams for over a year the trick is not to drive at night.

As above,if Jon White can't help.,Michael at Machine 7 is a pleasure to deal with.

Which type of lights does it have . are they sealed beam units found on most US imports or are they the type with 3 screws in the rims ?

Yes it's a US bus with sealed beams.

Not sure the description (dates in particular) make sense, but look like great value.

If they are sealed beams then they shouldn't be to difficult to get as I am sure they are the same size as those used in almost every British classic car
Mini/morris minor/and the likes .

would ya be bothered though? A H4 conversion would be a worthwhile upgrade. You can run stronger bulbs if needed and if a bulb blows, you don't have to replace the whole lamp.

Jon White has new ones coming back into stock in the next few weeks.
