Title: Headlights
Post by: fe van on June 29, 2020, 07:26:49 PM
Hi All,
I have my headlights for my FE van and they are the bosch ones, has anyone replaced just the glass? I have one good one and two others one with a hole in the glass good reflector and one with a good glass and a shit reflector I would like to use them if I can but I believe they are hard to come by? If my memory is correct the FE has the parker light in the headlight? any further info regarding these lights would be great.

Thanks
Darren

I don’t think they come apart, I’ve never actually tried to get them apart though. Interested to see if you have any success

Darren,

I've got a Bosch headlamp reflector from an FJ - without the glass.

From the master parts catalogue it appears that the reflector and lens for FJ Bosch headlamps were available separately, but from FE onwards the Bosch headlamps only came as an assembly.

I have a couple of lenses, not Bosch. 1 is Nasco and the other is branded tit ray, both have the same pattern. No buckets though.

Yes, that's correct.
