B2 80 Quattro/90/Coupe Drivers side headlight unit?

GBT4 · 07-04-16, 03:35 PM

Hi All I'm collecting an 80 Quattro on Sat morning and for my MOT list I need a drivers side headlight unit.

Is this single piece or are there two units together headlight and spot lights?

Thanks

Gareth

Gareth,
They are one piece, I have two units from my C reg coupe, one good and one slightly yellow on the shelf in my garage, where are you based.
I'll check later and get back to you.

Gareth it's early flat glass one piece units you need for it,, later units and 90 units are sloped glass

just incase you hadn't realised

Mine are sloped glass

You can dismantle them and swap the glass... All you need is the 'chrome' reflectors ultimately, but a glass swap is a lot easier (assuming your current flat lamp glass isn't broken or stone chipped beyond MOT compliance). The biggest PITA of rebuilding headlamps is the adjuster mechanism, avoid damaging them at all cost.

Once I've picked it up I will post some better pics as the lights seem rare.
