Hello everybody!  So one of my headlights was out on my Mini (1981 Leyland Clubman 1275GT) and the other one wasn't very bright, so I ordered 2 headlights from Minispares and went on with my day.  A week later when they get here (I live in the US), I go to put them on and they're not the same!  I had assumed that the Clubman would use the same headlight bowl as the rest of the Minis.  The bowl on the original lamp has tabs on it for the adjustment and thats how it's mounted to the car.  The shiny on the inside has spots on it so I'd like to replace the whole unit if possible, but at this point I'd be fine with just new bulbs!  Any help or links to what I actually need?  Thanks!

They are different, the clubman lights don't have the side light in the bowls, they are with the indicators, however I am going to attempt to run both the light in the bowl (H4 upgrade from Huddersfield minispares) and the standard sidelight,

My problem was that there are mounting tabs on the old lights but not the new ones. I thought the normal mini lights would fit or mount normally.

we bought a set of Autopal headlights(for my roundnose) these fitted into the standard bowls and the sidelight wiring was minimally changed(spade terminaled)to the original wiring(Autopal lights use a push in clip for the side lights)

You need the inner headlamp ring:
