Could anybody recommend a supplier for sealed beam headlamps please - and what I might expect to pay?

I got my Chevy back from the bodyshop and have just discovered one of the headlamps has been cracked. I don't want to go through all the hassle of "are you sure it wasn't broken before you brought it in" crap, it'll be easier to just to bite the bullet and buy a pair.

If truth be told the other one has been gradually "fogging up" with a white deposit inside, so I reckon it was on its way out anyway (no pun intended! Rolling Eyes

)

Thanks guys.

I must have half a dozen or so in the loft - let me know if you are interested and I will dig them out. Most came off Saab 96s and also a Sunbeam Alpine

You should be able to get them at any good motor factors.
I was in the car wholesalers a couple of weeks age and they had plenty on the shelves

Scotty, if you don't manage to source any let me know and I will get you some from the wholesaler.

You can't stay too far from me, I'm in Glasgow

That's very kind of you 47, I'll keep that in mind. Wink

And yes, I'm sure we're probably not a hop, skip and a jump from each other, Glasgow is that kind of town.
