Freelander 1 LHD headlights

HI Ive just passed my Freelander 1 on to my dad in France and he needs a new set of LHD headlights. Ive searched the interweb and they look very expensive. does anyone have or know where I can get a decent second hand pair.
54plate Freelander 1

thanks

There're like rocking horse Doodoo second hand. It'll be new I expect. New LHD ones pop up on EBay from time to time at a reasonable price. So that's likely your best bet. On the plus side, the RHD lights on there will also be worth reasonable money in the UK.

Have you looked at headlight beam deflectors? Rimmer bros do a pair for £5:40. there are quite a few for people that wish to drive in France, saves the hassle of changing the full unit, plus a lot cheaper.

Have you thought about looking through the ex-pat sites in France for some? It could be that someone is returning to the UK and might welcome a swop!

You could check scrappers in Canada or the USA if you can't find anything closer.
Here is one link I found: http://www.roverlandparts.com/Freelander-headlights.aspx

Beam pattern is different on US spec lights compared to “normal” LHD headlights

Bummer!
But are they acceptable in the EU? Or, ahem, would they be picked up during testing?
They would certainly be closer to EU spec than RHD headlights.
