Does anyone know the part number for 2002 Disco 2 left hand drive headlights?
I am trying to buy a pair, but I can't be sure ones I see online are correct because of the confusion caused by "LHD" stamped on some models which I understand means left hand dip (for Right hand drive vehicles) instead of left hand drive.
Even better, anyone know where I can buy a cheap pair?
Thanks.

Nice one, Thanks!
I need them to import my D2 into France. Looking at the link on your signature I guess you already did this. looks like you had fun in Morocco - I'm doing a similar trip in a few months on two wheels.

Yes I've been in France for about 7 years now. Funnily enough I'm coming to England tommorrow to pick up the next Discovery !!

The import procedure is very straightforward but if you would like me to walk you through it I would be glad to.

Please do be very careful especially as you will be on two wheels in Morrocco. The Rif and Atlas mountains are fabulous - oncoming taxis overtaking each other on blind corners are NOT!!!!!

Allow loads of time to do your daily journeys, 100kms in France is not the same as 100kms in the High Atlas !!!!
Have a great time

I haven't imported a car before so I may well ping you for advice if I get stuck - thanks - I did hear a rumour that the French were stopping RHD imports - hopefully that isn't true...

I took a Series III through Maroc, Algeria, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Senegal 20 years ago and haven't been back since, so will be interesting to see the changes...
