Hi guys,

just bought a set of facelift headlights, the standard bulb holders for dipped beam are different both sides....is something missing?

What looks like the normal one

The one with something missing??

Thanks in advance

The top photo shows a H1 specific headlight.

Bottom photo shows the standard headlight, which needs the adaptor to get the H1 bulb to fit.

I thought you would have had two similar to the second pic. That's what I've got in mine.

Happy days for those who want to put in HIDs. Thought it may have been the case when I looked up the parts on the EPC.

What did you do with the DS2 headlight?

Not in this country for sure, but the EPC shows Xenons as an option, but without any part numbers for the UK.
