Never ending Quest for European standard Headlights

[Shadowfax]

Hi, I recently moved to the Czech Republic and brought my beloved 2002 S Type with me, not realising the problems I would encounter when attempting to change the headlights to conform with driving on the right....thought I would just buy some second hand lights in this country or Germany or somewhere in Europe..turns out there aint many available and when you do find some the plastic bits inside just break because they have become very brittle over the years and these plastic bits are very important bits apparently!!...the lights will not function properly without them...crazy!!!

I can't register the car until i sort the lights.....the car is rust free, done only 70,000 miles and interior is totally unmarked but I am facing having to scrap it if I cannot get any Euro standard headlights...am I doomed?

kind regards, to you all.

Hi Kevin, frustrating isn't it. Have you tried suppliers who work with the international market - like SNG Barrett, they have warehouse facilities in Europe. Alternatively, try further afield for LH drive vehicles, e.g. USA.

In some instances, getting the correct part number from the Jaguar Classic website is a good starting point because you can then put that into your search engine and international hits can be found.
