Chimaera LHD headlights

Message par justef »

I have just brought a 1998 Chimaera 450 over from UK and need to change the headlights for LHD.
Does anyone know what car uses the same lights so that I can go to the local scrapyard, or has anyone got some for sale?
Thanks

Don't Know which car they are from but I can tell you where to source them from.
I bought mine from webdealauto.com for 60€ ref: 1305604026
Ans that's only for the two glasses.
Enjoy ans good luck

Hi,
you can find them also from TVR dealer in UK,

lens : BOSCH 1 305 604 026
réflector : BOSCH 1 305 314 929
gasket : BOSCH 1 300 212 013

I bought them on this german site http://www.geiz-24.de but ask if they have them in stock!!

I think they could be Scania truck parts!!I have found one similar part on a truck :shock:

here a topic to change them

Thanks for that, but I've just ordered them from webdealauto.
Might be useful for other people though.

If I'm not wrong, the Chimaera headlights are a very common model on British cars (MGB for instance).
You can buy them new at a bargain price on www.oscaro.com

The model you need to search for is "VALEO Projecteur principal - Ref 082440 or 82440)"

I paid 50 euros for 2 of them.
MGB roadster - 1979 (en cours de restauration)
Jaguar XJS 3,6L coupé - 1989
Bentley Turbo R - 1991
Porsche Cayenne 3.6L V6 - 2007 (pour me déplacer)
