To conform to French regulations i need to change the headlights on my shogun, does anyone know where i might be able to pick up left hand drive headlights for my truck without paying dealer prices..

Thanks..

Are we talking permanent modification because you are exporting the car there or just temp as in holiday/touring.?

Personally I would try that On Line Auction site, especially the American one or other European ones (LHD) and then you can try the On Line Auction site, The UK one to sell your old lights and maybe make a profit Wink

Are you talking about ebay or was there some other auction site you had in mind?

Hi again
Don't buy from the USA, they won't ( probably) be E marked and if they're not the French won't accept them.
You're probably best buying before you move - scrappers in France do exist, but.. well I don't know about anyone else, but the prices are expensive, they are not all that clever with the internet yet Rolling Eyes

so there's not enough competition to get the prices down.. it's huge country and you'll have to pay £££, sorry €€€€ for delivery ...and you'll also struggle to find the right type as Mk2 Pajs are rare out here ( in Gironde anyhow). Germany may be your best bet. i buy most things I need from eblag UK or Germany, which is way cheaper and better than eblag France
I'll have a scout around and see what I can find, also if I can remember where I got mine for around £120 .. I'll trawl through my eblag feedback. Back soon. ATB. Anne

Back again Very Happy

. It was mako1mako. His feedback is now 98.5%, but I had no problem. It may be worth asking the question if he can get some? I got the next model up - for a 1997, and they fitted perfectly. Mine's a 1995.

And again. Go to Eblag UK and search in European union, or go direct to eblag Deutschland Germany and input 'Pajero scheinwerfer'. ralf-versand24 has them for sale, also others have them. Prices are good, delivery isn't all that bad either, and as you know fitting is no problem. Most German sellers will reply to a question sent in English, but perhaps you speak German? Anyhow, you'll need a right ( rechts) and a left ( links). ATB hope that helps, Anne Very Happy

Thanks Daisy ,

You comments on this and the registering thread have been most helpful i have a 1999 3.5 petrol shogun and found this link on ebay france http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300397814507 which seem the correct ones and reasonably priced also.

I have to travel between France and the Uk weekly so really only use my Shogun between the home and the Airport.

Anyway thanks for pics on changing the headlights i might have acrack at that myself..

Cheers
David
