Remember the saga with my left hand headlamps .well I finally heard from Gwent and was told they couldnt get them so as a matter of curiosity I called my local Merc dealer AND VW dealer as they same as VWgolf mk2.
VW lamps were £46 each now wait for it
ANDY at Medway Merc can do original G ones for..... £36 each this includes all back plate so I wont have to phaff adjusting them but just screw them into place..
and he will deliver to my door as he always does for free....
I have been smiling all day SAD INIT

Head lamp saga

Greeney,

Sorry to dampen your joy but not long ago I posted a message in the forum explaining that you can get the W460 headlights from any Hella distributor for £ 26 each and that includes all the back plate as well.

See http://www.gwoa.co.uk/node/88

Anyway, the price quoted by your man at Medway is very fair given that the official one is £ 52 each.

Cheers

I did try a few Hella distributors but none would do the LHD ones enabling me to drive in France on the Right without beam deflectors.
