Looking for a set of cheap headlights - actually, I don't even need them to keep - borrowing would also be good - but it'd be for a few months min.

Reason I am after them is that I have sourced a cheap set of GTO headlights (4" x 6") and I am looking to make a set of custom low-rise headlights. Its going to be a lot of trial and error.

So, when I do get them finished, I'll have my current ones, which are ion perfect nick, to give back.

Plus, I'll have a comprehensive how-to on low-rise headlights for those that want to try it.

Let me know if anyone has a set for sale or to borrow (note, it will be a few months min, as I don't get as much time to tinker with my 2 as before the kids arrived !)

I was going to suggest this little bargain on ebay until I saw the delivery charge

There's actually a good few 4"x6" lights available in the US but their beam pattern (DOT)is slightly different to Ireland, UK etc I think the light shines higher

So, that's why I had to look out for a set of lights from a UK GTO

ill give you a lend as car just sitting up.

Aw no - I don't want to take them off a complete car. Only if someone had a spare set.

Keep yours - nothing worse than seeing your 2 with bits missing Keep them on - it'll keep you mpotivated to get yours back on the road.

No hurry on my side - don't worry, I'll get a set from a breakers.

I agree with Dave, keep ur eye on ebay, u can pick up a cheap set to mess around with! Way easier than trawling through breakers.

HOWEVER, have you tried Traynors breakers up north? They are good! I need to take a trip up there soon myself.

traynors.biz/

They currently have 10 MR2's for breaking and 60, yes 60 already dismantled. Now thats a mix of MKI, MKII & MKIII, see link:
80.76.198.40/yard/yard.aspx

Looking at all the 2's there, makes you wonder what kind of rare goodies you could stumble across!! Eh? Eh? Eh?

I wouldn't mind taking a look at Traynors myself..

I call first Dibs on any Rev5 wing they have up there.

No worries chief, if im there before you and I find one, ill pickit up for you, provided its tidy.

no problem the offer is there tho if ya need. dont think it going to hit road this yr anyway.

Sounds good

I had a hunt through their website, they say they have a 1998 there so I got excited... then I looked a few lines down and they said they had a 1995, I clicked on the pics and find that I'm looking at a Rev1! square tail lights and restrictive bellmouth to boot!

So maybe there 1998 is a Rev3?

Who knows Quandry? You would really need to be there and have a look in the flesh. I am in Belfast on Monday to give a presentation to the PSNI so I plan to drop in on the way home. I need a few bits myself but ill have a look for a Rev 5 wing and give you a call if I find one. I can always text you a pic and if you want I can take it, providing they have one to begin with!!

If you have room, could you pick up a set of headlights for me ?
If so, I'll check with them later today to confirm they have them in and ready.

Is this the branch of Traynors where you are going to ?

9 Trench Road
Newtonabbey
Belfast

I thought years ago I went up and there was one near Newry ???

And I can't remember either but are they the type of breakers which have parts off the shelf and if not, they get them for you ? I've been in some breakers years ago and you just went into the yard - but you had to bring your own tools and get the parts yourself.

Did you ever source headlights?

HI,

If your still looking for those lights then i have a set. €70 delivered.

Cheers

Apologies - I had gotten them since. And price was more expensive than you are offering

I'd better say nothing then....
