Headlamp Question

Paul240480 · Feb 12th, 2009, 16:00

Hi.

I've just returned to France from the UK after picking up my 'new' 850:

(if you've not seen it, it's here:

Drove from Derby to Pompey yesterday for the ferry, then St Malo to here

.

So, onto my first 850 question!

I need to replace the headlamps in preparation for re-registering to Frenchy plates: Do I have to replace the whole lamp, or can I just replace the glass lenses?

Cheers.

Its not clean anymore after that trip LOL.

Ta, I'll start looking for LHD lamp glass, much cheaper than the whole kit & kaboodle
