Title: Offside Headlamp Fulvia Sports Required Urgently Post by: fay66 on 01 June, 2009, 09:49:43 AM Can anyone help please, ???
Yesterday A lady friend had the misfortune of someone backing into her Series 2 Fulvia Sports Zagato breaking her offside headlamp glass :'(, although the reflector is ok it's a sealed beam unit so I suspect the only way is a complete headlamp unit. Omicron can't suggest a source, can anyone here please.

Failing that then Italian autojumbles will turn one up. I am surprised Omicron cannot source one though.

I didnt realise you could get sealed beam in these lights. I also think the lens pattern is same for n/s and o/s, and generally they have a movable back plate that the bulb fits into to twist for rhd or lhd patterns. Renault 16/12 have same reflector but concave glass - it doesnt affect beam pattern. Brian please clarify sead beam etc. I have a renault lens I may part with but even these are like the rocking horse poo. The only time I sam them on ebay was 199 euro opening price - needless to say no bids. Omicron have been thinking about offering a remanufactured unit but nothing in pipeline as far as I know.
