1991 Renault Master

Hi.

My 1991 Renault Master is in urgent need of two new headlight. The ones on there at present have rusty looking reflectors. There is no way it will pass another MOT like it is.

I have tried ebay, online scrapyards etc. I was wondering if it is possible to get headlights refurbished and if so where?

Any help gratefully received.

have you tried euro carparts?, they claim to be able to obtain most parts, and when I last used them they were reasonably helpful,(though not always the cheapest).
 
Headlights

Hi FF.

There is a commercial breakers at Rushgreen motorbreakers on the Hitchin to Welwyn road, about a mile out of hitchin on the left after private airfield, that had a couple of Renault Masters in being broken,but if you go there check on the van and ask for price before you remove them, as the man is a shark and even robbed his own mother,:scared::scared::ninja::ninja: It may be worth a try FF.

Not until after Christmas OH I was hoping to sort it before the weather gets cold. Good job we started looking now..

I was thinking about what nbrown said about modifying Here is a pic Does the light look familiar? Near enough would be good enough. Then I could modify. That will be a last resort though

I found this chap on eBay who is selling parts from a T35D Master. Could be worth an email to see if he still has the headlights for a sensible price?

If not (and if yours can't be re-chromed), I'd keep looking for a few more weeks before taking the more drastic step of fitting similar sized headlamps from a different type of vehicle (along with the fittings from the donor vehicle). In the meantime, ask a few scrapyards / dismantlers to let you know if they find any, and keep a "saved search" on eBay for them.

If you do have to adapt other headlights to fit, at least the alteration work should be hidden behind the plastic grill. And you could always have your lights checked at your MOT garage, in case they're not quite as bad as you think? :)
