Hi all.

I'm looking for a pair of RS2 headlights (UK Spec - RHD) for my 80 Q saloon.

Anyone know where to get hold of these, apart from the VAG stealership (£225
each)

TIA

DA

 

I would suggest you try contact HELLA in the UK.
They are the makers of the RS2 DE lights.
RHD and LHD cars share the same lights and spare part numbers.

Take care
Pantelis

P.S. If you fail to find them in the UK please let me know and I will try
and quote you a price from Greece

Thanks, I'll give them a try.

I didn't realise the LHD and RHD alighs were the same, how do they support
dipping to the correct side ?

There is a special lever inside each light cluster which can be adjusted for
RH or LH side of road driving.

Take care
Pantelis

P.S. I am based in Greece but when I travelled to the UK with my RS2 I
simply used this lever to change the dipping so as not to bother oncoming
traffic in your country.

Tried Hella - they say these are a 'tied part' i.e. due to the commercial
agreement with VAG, they cannot sell them directly.

Re LHD / RHD - ETKA lists different part numbers for these. Surely they
don't stock the same part under a different part number with the lever moved
over ??!?!?!

Still looknig for a source of lamps though.

If, and it looks like it's the case, I can use LHD lamps with no problems,
what sort of prices are these available in europe ?

Cheers
