Fiat Ducato Headlights

[jrisch]

My '92 Fiat Ducato based motorhome has just failed its MOT due to corroded headlamp reflectors. Apparently, new Fiat ones are £125 each. Has anyone any suggestions for sourcing either pattern parts or secondhand ones.

 

TIA

Hi Try the above, 

[Brambles]

try http://www.aepdirect.com who are about £50 each, and on ebay you can get for about £42

ebay item

 

The above are the glass ones up to 2002.

 

You can also get good second hand ones for 25 or less to 35 pounds.

Thanks, guys, for your quick responses. The items recommended are unfortunately for 1994 on models and I need aa 1992 pair. However I have found that the Talbot Express and Citroen C25 are near identical models and the parts from those should fit so I'm taking a punt on those.

Sorry, do beg your pardon, I read as 2002. Also as you said corroded guessed up to 02 model.

For goodness sake, just had a quick search and do not come in cheap. Cheapest I can see is around 90 each.

 

..second hand 99.99 + 10del on ebay for a pair....second hand!!!!!

:-( . Hope you manage to find cheaper.

It does sound expensive, but hey, they do last 18 years!

Thanks again, guys. I considered those once I realised Talbot Express ones would do. However there were new ones at £70 each on eBay which I've bought instead. Still a lot better than the £125+VAT each which my motorhome repairer was quoted.

 

Ypur help was much appreciated.

Seems to be a good price, well not good as rediculously expensive really but very good for what is available but probaly due to manuctured now in low volumes and retooling was required.

I agree with getting new ones as light output will be much higher than with second hand ones and you will notice a massive diference driving in the dark, also make the van look a lot nicer...smart clean headlights can transform the appearance.
