Default Silly question,,where to get twin headlights?

I know this is just like finding hens teeth but where can you find twin XJS headlights without braking the bank.

would thought the after market trade would have been all over this.

Have you tried EBay. They're called quad headlights. I think it's only in NA.

Try Just Jags or SNG BARRATT. If yu buy the kit it will come ready to fit. Buying bits and that on Flebay will take time and you still might not get it all..

On this note, I really want Euro lights preferably with the wiper setup. I would consider trading a forum member for my US quads, which are nearly perfect (very small bubbles in plastic chrome in one unnoticeable area and a broken top mounting tab on right side that a washer fixes - they look amazing and have very high dollar Cibie (paid over $300 for all four perfect NOS fluted highs and non lows per EU OE LHD) lamps, with the high beams fitted with yellow fog lamp bulbs - they look awesome but are easily popped out of course).

The set I'd need would have to be like condition, perfect non rusted reflectors, chrome rings and perfectly clear glass. If no wipers that is okay. The earlier the better but my car is an '85 so no facelifts of course.

My US zip code is 80401 and would workout sharing shipping charges.

Send me a note with detailed pics and I'll respond with the same. I will send all mounting brackets (which are perfect car has 26k on the clock), but need the same in same shape back with all fasteners.

Cheers,

Jeff

Remember that the right hand drive cars the lights shine to the left. Left drive cars shine to the right

Makes no difference to me, half my cars are running RHD lights as I don't drive at night anymore, but the dip into RHD land will be an issue (albeit an easily and chep fixed one) to get RHD round lights.

But again as far as the trade, I could care less if RHD or LHD for my units..

Thanks,

Jeff
