I'm suprised that they don't TBH as cab and mk1 headlights are the same AFAIK - they look identical to the ones on mine too...

Give the nice people at Awesome a call and they'll be able to advise you better... I know the mk1 inner spots are different to the cab ones (cab ones being mk2 items - which I've just learnt) so it could be a case that this info has got muddled up with the headlight advert on their site!?!

Best of luck anyways - BTW you could try Volksbits as they do RHD units for the mk1/cab and were really helpful when I spoke to them not so long ago :)

I got mine from Tim at The Phirm (http://www.thephirm.co.uk) as I had to change my lights to pass the MOT a few weeks ago and he'd had them sitting around in the workshop since his Caddy project had been written off... so in short I have no idea where they came from but they were bought to go on a standard mk1 front end!

I had some crosshair ones on back order with Volksbits which again were mk1 items and was told by them that they would fit fine  :cool:
