Ah Ok. Are you sticking with the LHD? LHD headlights are different to RHD. Also round or square. You have a Mk2 phase1 BTW.

The plan is to MOT it so will need to change them to UK spec lights, are the mounts the same or is it just the light units, They are the square type lights which I think were used on MK2 Escort as well.

Welcome!
Was yours on Ebay? There was one very similar to your signature pic on Ebay.
I have an early mk2 Firevan from Germany also. Mine just has stickers on the headlights to make them comply for the MOT.
Got any pics of your van?

Yes its on Fleabay, just seeing what the market is like for them, I'm thinking of doing a mild camper conversion as the van is in such good condition. The lights have all gone opaque but if they will MOT with correction stickers I will have a go at cleaning them, Where did you get your correction stickers from? I will do the photobucket and get some pics uploaded.

Ah ok, my lights look like new so not worth changing.
I don't know where the stickers were from, im assuming Halfords something like that, the van was already imported so all registered and MOT'd.

Yeah Halfords will do them, never heard of any LHD vehicle failing due to the beam pattern.
