Headlight Sidelight

gjb02storm · Nov 9th, 2011, 12:48

Hi, in the process of fixing my headlights I have found the small sidelight bulb holder broken. The one that fits into the back of the headlight with the two wire connector. Is this a Dealer only replacement? I've searched the internet for sidelight bulb holder, and variations of that description to no avail.
Could anyone help with a Part number, cost, etc??
1998 V40 Phase 1 Single Headlight variant.

Not to sure which bit is broken from your description, so I have attached a parts diagram of the single headlamp

Best option is likely to find a breaker and just *BUY* a whole headlamp unit and nick the bits off you need - or someone on here might have some spare (once we know what bit is broken).

Thanks for the diagram. It's No.10 the Bulb Socket, part no.3345719.
Local scrappy are a little hard on 'sock/pocket shoppers', so that isn't an option. Cheers

NP. Could always try Rufe on these forums - just find one of his posts, signature has details how to get genuine parts at a discounted rate.

And i thought you took that piece of wiring INTO the scrappy to find the right bit

hehe, my thinking was to buy a complete 2nd hand headlamp unit :P and strip the bits off - just poor wording on my part lol.

My local scrappies catch you out by quoting one price, then asking if you are paying by cash or card?? Card, you say....I'll have to add on the VAT now!!
Never seem to take enough cash with me to cover the cost. £50 turns into £60 in a heartbeat!! Grrr
My local dealer is about 5 miles away, costs less than P&P to drive there. So depending of Rufe's discount, might be worth giving my local a go.
