This light/lamp situation is going to get miserable before it gets better - mainly because those adjusters are NLA. Unless our list vendors ae carrying them - and I haven't seen any - the SA lamps will be hard to come by for replacing any broken ones. The bulbs are available, but getting those flat glass lamps will be though. I checked to see if either the inboard or outboard reflectors were available and the US distributor of that brand said they were not made in the US and they could not get them from European sources. Not sure that is true, but it could make it problematical.. Regards, John Rodgers 88 GL Driver Mister Tom wrote: > On an ’87 the right side headlights are smashed.
