trebus Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 i am looking for some replacement headlamps for my 1969 mk1 super which has the square type headlamps like the twink has , any one know if they are the same lamp as the mk1 capri as ive been offererd a pair but unsure if they are the same unit cheers in advance
stuartp Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 I don't know about the capri but I bought a brand new mk1 escort pair from Australia on ebay a few years back
PaulMags Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 Are they hard to get hold of? could have bought some new ones a few weeks ago from a supplier of mine.
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 i was told viva i think use the same ones
Stiggy Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 i was told viva i think use the same ones Similar but not a perfect fit. Went through that 30 plus years ago.
dalmarshall Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 As said, repro ones are (were) avaiable from Oz. Savvi got me some a couple of year ago. I still have the original ones from my GT in the garage if you are looking for some
Savvi Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 I still got a brand new set as I didn't use mine Dal !!! I'll take what I paid for them (if Dal reminds me what we got them for !!!) I don't think I ever unpacked them, a few of us got together and bought a few sets.
dalmarshall Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Forgot to mention that the Oz ones take H4 halogen bulbs, much brighter than the originals! PM'd ya Savvi 1
Savvi Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 Cheers Dal ............ we must be getting old neither are 100% sure We believe they were £120 for the pair, brand new and as Dal says they are the H4 upgrade version. Let me know if any good to you and I'll find them out. Im in Oxfordshire if you wanted to collect or I can post out for cost.
stuartp Posted January 31, 2014 Report Posted January 31, 2014 £120 sounds about right to me (mine are still waiting to be fitted too but they look decent)
meXEco Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 It was me who got a few sets a couple of years ago from Oz-cant remember the price now wasn't it something like £105 a pair? Viva ones are a lot deeper so stick out the front quite a bit. If the boys on here don't have any left they do pop up on EBay UK every now and again-and yes they are not sealed beam units they take decent H4 type bulbs.
Escort Mk1 4 Door Posted February 15, 2014 Report Posted February 15, 2014 i have the glasses but the reflectors are fooked i got a plan lol
Freehill1 Posted November 4, 2017 Report Posted November 4, 2017 Hi lads just wondering if any of you still have a set of the new square headlights for a mk1 or know where I can get them?
