Listing these separately as the detail may get lost in my other ads.

You need to be quick as I'm limiting further trips to public places due to this virus.

This is the only item I have left.

If you'd like it, make an offer please as I'm heading back out today to my unit and can collect/package/post them tomorrow.

Thanks

No interest in these? Really? Surprising considering how knackered the headlamps are on them.

No, 850s have a different shape headlight.

Thank you, that's what I thought

What are the options for 850 headlamps that actually work beyond a faint glimmer?

Projectors, or just new headlamps. Its the reflectors that fade, so renewing them restores brightness.

You can just open the lights and line the reflectors using a role of self adhesive aluminium foil.

3 bolts to remove the headlamp from the car,
Then approx 6 metal clips holding the glass lens onto the headlight.
They're not glued together, so its very easy to do.

I would say it improved my light output from 5% visibility to about 75% visibility.
