Title: Fulvia Zagato Headlamp, change glass Post by: fay66 on 22 September, 2009, 06:21:51 PM Has anyone had experience of removing a headlamp glass from a Renault headlamp, to refit to a Fulvia Zagato lamp?
A friend is having great difficulty and has doubts of removing it short of gelignite :o I have suggested perhaps a Dremel with an appropriate thin disc cutter.

But there are probably better ways! Title: Re: Fulvia Zagato Headlamp, change glass Post by: fay66 on 22 September, 2009, 10:59:33 PM Thanks Jai,

Some of them had rectangular headlamps which are the same dimensions as Fulvia Zagato but not convex. They may be easier to come by than Lancia ones.
