Need RF headlight and turn signal
Thomas Isom <[email protected]>
I am looking for a right front headlight and turn signal for my '93
EV. I lost the right front turn signal on the freeway on Saturday night. The reason it fell out (second one that's fallen off in a couple of months) is that the retaining clip on the headlight mounting frame thingy is broken off so the turn signal is not held in. Plus, the right front headlight has a corroded reflector due to not being water tight. I also need the holder for the turn signal bulb because the plastic broke where the retaining flanges are. The flanges broke off and got lost with the turn signal. (I drove back and forth on a stretch of the freeway at midnight in a wind storm looking for the turn signal, but it was gone.) I am considering converting to European H4 headlights, but the simplest and cheapest option is to get another US-spec right headlight. I could go with either the amber reflective US-spec turn signals or some clear Euro-style ones (I bought those too, but lost the right-side one). The clear Euro-style ones look good and I like the little turn signal bulge, but the reflector kind are the proper equipment for the U.S. and might possibly add some very slight margin of safety (?). European automotive lighting is very good, but I do think the U.S.-required side reflectors and side marker lights are better/safer. (OTOH, the big white billboard-side of my EV isn't exactly likely to escape notice even in poor visibility conditions.) Anyone have a right headlight complete with plastic mounting frame? Any turn signals? Thanks. |
the only safety issue with the Euro spec is they have an Orange bulb,
while we in the US have a stupid bright orange corner with a clear bulb. i went with the Euro look, LOOKS HOT on a silver van, completes the front nicely. Clear corners from www.importvision.com and i got the 4 round headlights from ProjektZwo at www.1552design.com ChRiStOpHeR e LiNdEnBeRg rsibeetle@... t4bus_boy@...
