Wanted KZN185 LHD Headlamps

[the silver surfer]

New or used, wanted for use in Euro land.

[Karma Supra]

Loads on US ebay, cheap.

Nice facelift ones too.

Thanks, will take a look. Roughtrax used to have them for around £100 for a pair, now they're £300!!!

Only prob in getting large stuff from USA to Spain is import duty, they're really clamping down on it now.

Just had a look @ fleabay U.S, can't find any for the KZN185 1996. Did I miss something?

Drop the KZN185 bit, they never got that, you need to look at 4-Runner parts.

Ahh that's better! Thanks. Lokks like a saving of at least £100 over the Roughtrax product, and they have new indicator lenses included too!

Just before I make the purchase, can anyone confirm that these are indeed the right ones. http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Piece-Blac...183628&vxp=mtr

The seller's seem a little reluctant to commit themselves, but looking at the pictures they seem to have the same shape and lug positions.

Also, can anyone please confirm that these U.S headlight are road legal in Europe. A local mechanic seems to think possibly not.

Thanks BW, I've sent 3 messages to that seller with no response, that's why I didn't link to his item.

I also don't know why there would be a problem, but you know what Americans are like, always gotta change something just to be different. So I don't know if there is something specific that is different about beam shape or angle or lens colour, something like that.

They are probably on about ce markings. Products made for us market won't need them and may not have them. If product was intended for worldwide markets, it may have them. Lights without ce marks may well fail any mot, Sva, homolgation tests

[the silver surfer]

Right, so a U.S seller has confirmed that these lights are NOT CE marked, only SAE & DOT, which are U.S regs I guess. Therefore they would probably get pulled up on the inspection when transfering the car over. I'm not sure I want to take the risk of that and having to buy a second set.

If anyone has any other ideas or places to buy that aren't p155 taking on price like RT then please advise me.

So I spoke to the mechanic here again and you are correct, the lights MUST have CE or E markings or they will not pass the inspection. So for permanent use on Euro roads the ones from the U.S are of no use unfortunately.

So back to the drawing board, any ideas or suggestions on a location for the best price then I'm all ears!

[the silver surfer]

Does anyone happen to know what the actual part numbers are for LHD headlamps?

[Sylux]

OEM?

Use the top tabs to change any of the details (next to the VIN search box) and use the tabs below to navigate various parts (electrical, powertrain etc).

[the silver surfer]

Brilliant and really useful, but because the Surf is Jap it only lists the RHD headlamps, I need LHD for Euro driving.
