Default One-eyed cat needs help

Dear cat friends,

thanks to a stone my high beam head light is history. It is the inner light with a H1 lamp, the model is a Valeo (or Cibie) 082372 (or 3670048). It seems that they are difficult to get. Does anyone here in Europe have a spare one and is willing to sell it?

My cat would love to get its eye back.

Best regards from Austria
Andreas

Andreas,

There are a number of companies in the UK selling XJS twin headlight conversions such as fitted to your car. So I wouldn't think it be difficult to source a single lamp from these suppliers.

Try SNG Barratt, SC Parts or even Clarkes of Sussex.

Good luck

Paul

Hi Paul,

these companies either sell - expensive - complete conversion kits (4 lamps plus brackets) or single lamps from different producers. The latter have diffusing lenses which look very different compared to the Valeo lense, i.e. a visual no go.

Best regards
Andreas

Go to Oscaro.com a French online parts supplier and order them. Common as muck and cheap in France.

Greg,
thank you for the recommendation. They have the part listed but it is not available any more. Do you know any other French shops where they might have it?
