New sealed headlights

Post by d_r_1989 » Wed Jan 07, 2015 10:49 pm

Does anyone know where I can get some new sealed headlights for my sj?

Failing that some good 2nd hand ones?

Thanks

I got mine from

Bolt On Bits
84 Whitehall Road East
Birkenshaw
West Yorkshire
BD11 2ER
+44 (0)1274 688388

Something a bit like these. You will probably need new bowls too.

Got golf ones, fed up of them leaking and dirtying the inside of the glass.

Yeah they stock bowls to suit too. It's worth popping over to see them as they have al sorts of bits and bobs.

Just a little bit, but that come in through where the bulbs are fitted. I've put a bit of sealer around the join and that helps.
