Hi guys

I am trying to track down a replacement headlamp for my Piccadilly. It's a bit of a minefield out there with so many different ones. Does anyone know the actual part number?

So long as the car isn't a concourse car I'd fit Halogen H4 upgrade kits with Osram Night breaker bulbs

Wipac and Autopal both do replacement headlight units which are a direct replacement for the original ones. With halogen bulbs the light output is a vast improvement.

Agree with the above, good old wipacs!

Originally the car would have had the standard sealed beam non halogen headlights, which look cute (they're rounder in profile) but don't give out much light!

About £30 a pair c/w bulbs on eBay, or c.£40 from Mini Spares. Personally I would buy from Mini Spares just to be sure of what I am getting. i.e. not rejects or cheap s***.
