New LC head lights

[Rally_2.6LC]

Hey guys, I know there was a post about a Hella light that is the same as the LC headlights but I cant seem to find it. I think it was some Mitsubishi truck. (also tried looking up the site but it seems I am incapable of finding things)

I need new headlights for my LC because all the chrome is pealing off the inside. Any help with a part number or website would be absolutely awesome.

I can't help you too much with this other then Lccoop has converted my LC to H4 ute headlights. He used to work at a wreckers so anything and everything that came in was fair game for parts for the hatch.

If you need to see it I can take some pics, but other then that you can come for a visit, or I you can catch up with me the next time I have the Hatch in Sydney (but I don't know when that will be, it's only been there once the whole time I've owned it).

I've had the Hella lights in my LC for about 12 years with 100w globes and they're great. The one difficulty I had was that being a '79 mine didn't have frames that held the sealed beam units, they bolted directly to the spring mounts. The Hella units needed to mount in a frame that then attached to the spring mount because the lugs on the light housing didn't match the mount points in the LC. I ended up getting a pair of frames from a wrecked '81 LC. Apparently somewhere in there Mitsubishi changed the lighting mount arrangement.

Another option is Ebay USA. There are currently 'European Projector' lights on there to fit LB & LC. Just search under Plymouth Arrow and you should find them. No idea if they're any good, but they are non sealed beam halogen units!

No good; they focus the light on the wrong (right) side of the road .

Put 'em on the opposite side of the car then!

Think about it; that won't work either. You'll still be blinding oncoming traffic. They both be focusssing to the right instead of the left. In any event both lights in a pair are identical not left and right handed.

And before you ask upside down won't work either they'll be pointing in the air.

I just this weekend went and bought new headlights for my hatch. I had to as I got a stone through one, so I thought I'd buy a pair so they matched.
I bought a pair of generic 7 inch H4 semi sealed. They bolted straight in, but my hatch was already running a set.
The new lights cost me $44 for the pair (not including globes) from Autopro.
When I asked it they fit the guy in Autopro said there is only one shape/size light made in 7 inch rectangle?

Thanks for that Dave, will have to hit up my guy for a set.

Here's an idea.
Take your headlight out, take it to a parts place, and compare it while you're there.
Saves on guess work.
