The Ferrett Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 HI, Does anyone know where i can buy replacement headlights (and i don't mean the H4 bulb) for the Esprit 1980 (RHD) series 2.2, I cant find them anywhere in the UK, and just to make it more fun, the inner and outer lamps are different. The existing ones have suffered corrosion/rust ...thus the search. Thanks in advance ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Coleman Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Maybe I'm a bit thick but I don't understand the question. What are you looking for, the chrome rings, the inner zinc ring, the metal bowl or the glass sealed beam unit?

shaman Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Martin - Try Steve at SJ Sportscars - I have just replaced my rusty Hella units with suitable/affordable replacements from Steve. The new units are not exactly the same as the original Hella items, the front face is domed not flat and also there is a little fettling required to the adjustment ring to get the new units to fit. I may be wrong but my understanding is that the S2.2 has 4 identical headlight units. Hope this helps. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ferrett Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 John Thanks for the feed back, i did get a couple of lamps from S.J. sportscars, they were not quite the same, as you say, so I took the glass off my old lights and fitted them to the new reflector dome of the new one..... sad I know, but they look original and have new reflectors ! as you mentioned, also required a little adjustment to get them properly mounted back into the pods. Many thanks again Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
