Title: hella twin headlight spares
Post by: patty on 19 December 2009, 11:35

any one know where to get spares from for the mk3 hella twin headlight set up????

as i need a new light in one of mine,

i have been on the hella website, but i cant seem to make sense out of it.

i just thought some of you guys with them fitted might have a uk source for spares???

cheers in advance
pat.

you'd be very lucky.... I tried getting spares for my DRL's after a clip went AWOL and they were shockingly bad and very very rude

you could try ringing Hella direct in Banbury but I fear that you might be wasting your breath - I fabricated my own clip in the end  :angry:

or you could possibly try Thames Valley Electro Diesel (http://www.tved.co.uk/) in Reading as they are a premier Hella distributor - they are always helpful when i have spoken to them

Shame because I've got a spare but it's a clear one, not smoked.

Does it have a black crosshair inside the lense?

If it does they're smoked.

You can still buy them from hella uk, but you need to find a local distributor and they're surprisingly expensive- you can buy a second hand set for a fair bit less than the cost of one replacement lamp unit....
