Hello,
Does anyone know where to buy a set of UK spec headlights. Google searches only came up with one UK company selling Hella Headlights but they are US / Europe spec.

I found this previous thread but neither Biggles or Sixer J posted the final outcome.

Are the 7" sealed units used on anything else, mini's, Land rovers etc.


Any help would be much apreciated.

I have a vauge memory that Volvo 142/144 around 1970 has the same headlights as the 914s...if so they could be avsilablr in UK version...

They're just regular 7in units - nothing special, you can buy them anywhere - even your local Halfords! Go on eBay and search on 7in sealed beam headlights and you'll see plenty on sale, all inexpensive as they are so common. I bought a pair of genuine Wipac ones for my 914 for around £20 pair when I imported it from the USA.

Look here for a choice...

I was thinking they may have been less common due to the lack of UK Porsche specialist selling them.
Thanks
