SNG Barratt sells kits to covert the one headlight to the quad. They are a bit expensive though.

Try eBay.

Quad lamp housings are probably rare in Ireland, UK, and continental Europe. I'll wager you'll end up sourcing them from USA or Canada. Of course you'll have to buy different headlamps since you (presumably) have a RHD car.

Perhaps you can trade with an American owner who would rather have the single lamp version?

I am not personally a fan of the quads since they where a US-only compromise when the car debuted on 1975, but many like them better and they appearantly give better light.

Search e bay and see what you find.

Thanks guys
Interesting response
I am going to live with it a while I think
Changing from original design to an aftermarket/us solution smacks a little of desecration
So I will exercise a little caution
A new experience!
Thanks again
