Good news my mechanic pal tells me the reflectors are good and road legal so I'm guessing it's the lenses are different😊

Only just got the car not driven at night but they definitely look brighter and cleaner than the old ones!5f16c1080c10d598cfca1fcfe94c45e3.jpg

I assume these are fine for early model corrado's? Can't see there being a difference in the reflectors for early or late but wanted to ask just in case

Updated..

Ok drove the car early morning with the lights on for the first time and not good. The light spread is to the right and totally wrong!! I've been to my local garage to get them checked and they confirmed my suspicion that they are left hand drive reflectors.. So Sprinter53 I would like a refund please . There still fitted to the car and I'm organising my originals to be refurbished in next couple of weeks.. I did Pm you last week regarding this so if you could get back to me I would appreciate it

Cheers Jason..

Ok it's a weekend car my mechanic pal couldn't see a problem at the time and only now after driving for the first time at night ive noticed there not right. I would have complained sooner if I new about this also you've sold them to other UK forum members. Not very happy as deal in raddo parts all the time thought you would know better!!!!

Guess I'm going try sell on through corrado chat on fb ffs!!!

there is a difference betwen RHD and LHD reflectors , as I wrote before in this thread

not only the lens is different.

I know as I had the same problem as subcool. If You compare your original reflectors to those which You have instaled now

You will understand it quickly(Look how H4 bulb is instaled at the back of the reflector , which position)

Keep us updated on this process, I'm sure many of us would be interested to know more details on getting them done. :thumbleft:

I brought some refleckers from sprinter53, and haven't used them yet. So I take it that they are no good for use over here. I'll have to see if sprinter53 will take them back.

Finally! We've been talking about these guys on here for years, but not sure anyone ever actually took the plunge to try them until now. Would love to know what price they quoted you, and to find out how you get on!

 

Cheers.

I'll update soon spoke to a really helpful lady price starts round £115 but depends on how much prep work is required as they need sanding back first. Probably including p,p taxes etc around £180 mark.

Strange one this, I've built/sold quite a few pairs to forum members in the past, never had anyone come back complaining.. My headlamps are all lhd, I'm in Italy so obviously.. But were fitted with Uk lenses.

I don't see what difference there would be by placing the bulb differently or at a different angle?

The glasses are def. Different, ok but I'm not convinced that the reflectors would differ.

Of course, I could be wrong but I've opened umpteen headlamps over the past 15 years and never noticed a different bulb angle..still, we'll see..

That's exactly what my mechanic pal said he couldn't see any difference and I've checked the part numbers with the pair you sent me which match my originals.

Guessing the left hookers have different part numbers?

Yes the original plan was to refurb yours so my car wasn't of the rd then easy swap! Then sprinter came with these and had slight change of plan😠
