Rubber Duck Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hi - new here. Just come back to the UK from living in France. Unfortunately, now I have to re-change my headlights again. (Back to UK Standard from French)So now I'm stuck with french type headlights, that are not UK MOT passable. Tried selling them but no-one wnats them.Any ideas??

Anton Redman Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Might help if you posted model and year you might find somebody moving in the other direction prepared to swop headlamps.Buy Dolorean use as time machine and recover UK headlamps from when you the changed them.Google 'German Swedish French' and see how much they charge, they are suppliers of car parts.

Rubber Duck Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hmmm time machine sounds good, but don't think I'd stop at just recovering headlights. No I don't need UK lights, already got them, from when I changed over in France. It's just I'm not really planning on going back to France in the foreseeable future (Sadly) - Well not for a few years anyway! So probably won't use said French ones again.Unfortunatley I've double the headache - changed them for both cars.Citroen Picasso - 2003/2004Citroen C3 - 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderhorse Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Where have you tried selling them? Ebay and Leboncoin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Driver Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 When driving at night I'd be inclined to want the maximum efficiency from my headlamps, so whilst blanking off the right hand kick up will get you through the MOT, it won't compensate for the lack of forward illumination on the kerbside.
