Default Headlights seem to cost a fortune !
Am I missing something or do you have to pay at least £75 for a pair of headlights ? Has anyone found anything cheaper ?

Got mine for £35 posted from kitpartsdirect.
Think they must have had an offer on at the time, as they're charging £65 for them now

Like Skov I got mine from Kitpartsdirect for £35 plus £6 delivery, they had them on ebay at a start price of £35 but it was an auction so I phoned them up and said I didn,t have time for the auction to end & would they sell me a set at the start price & ship straight away ......they said YES no probs

So it might be worth a phone call

Mine are the 7inch headlights....ok ok they are not the flashiest available but do the job

cheers

Just a quick question about head lights , some one told me that if you were going for iva after December you would need to have running lights, but i cant find anything to confirm it

At the moment the manual says they are optional, not sure how you would get the heads up that there is going to be a change?
