View Full Version : Headlight units

I have decided to convert my headlights to low rise lights like the Rogue MK2 lights. Now many years ago Millentubby (Colin) on the MR2OC did this using Ford Puma lights, I have bought some Puma lights and they are quite simple to strip. I thought I had a spare set of MK1 lights but I forgot I gave Gilles27 (Anthony) on here one of them when he had a bump last year and I have not been able to find the other. I only need the frames and the chrome light holder, my current lights are powder coated and I do not want to hack them up. I am hoping I will be able to use the current adjustment system and mount the reflector lights in a plate which fits into the holder in place of the original headlight, then by altering the length activation arm the lights should not rise as much. I plan to do a write up on the whole process.
So does anyone have a spare set of headlight mechanisms ?

Is this of any help, Tommy?

Well Google Pease Pottage Breakers, apparently they have a white mk1 they're breaking. Might have the headlight units left :)

The problem with breakers is the cost Ben, I don't need the motors or the light unit or the covers or surrounds. I will give Gary a shout I know he has broken a few. If it works I will have a lovely set of powder coated units to sell :-)

Thanks Ben I really appreciate it, I think I am sorted now :-)
This is what I am hoping to achieve it is Colin's car from 2007.

Hi Tommy,
I'm pretty sure we didn't end up using your light, but I left it with Gary. I'll have a look in the car later, but I don't think I've still got your light.

Don't worry about it Anthony, I think I have sorted a set out.
