[carlo46]

Does anyone no were stocks hella or kinby headlights for a mk1 nova they must be new

[Southie]

I've got a fantastic set which came off my 1986 Nova and they look still like brand new, the downfall with them being original they had the number plate etched in it :(

pm me if your possibly interested.

There are some genuine RH Kinby's on Ebay but please be aware they are for a LHD car so not UK spec!
Valeo are Kinby. LH are fairly easy to find, it is the RH that is hard to get.

Think I may have an as new kinby in the loft mate will have to check...

Wait are these worth money now? I let a mint pair go for 20!

[Novasport]

Hella are the most sought after, a new pair went for over £75 on ebay last week. Kinby/Valeo are getting a bit hard to find now too so should imagine you are looking a minimum of £50 a pair.
Right hand units seem to be the hardest to find so they do the most money, the right hand Hella did over £50 on its own

If its not headlights, its brown door cards, or brown carpets, or brown coin trays/radio blanks. In fact, most things I have had to sort for my Sport rebuild!! lol

As far as I can tell there's no difference between LHD and RHD

[Novasport]

The beam pattern is totally different. If you look at the lens you can see the pattern for the kick is on the opposite side.

LHD lamp with the angled pattern on the lens on the right...

[Novasport]

LHD lamps will blind oncoming motorists on UK roads as the beam will kick up in the face of oncoming traffic rather than the kerb side. Would be an MOT failure unless you fit beam benders to level the beam pattern.
