RHD headlight glass
RHD headlight glass
by W-W » Tue Aug 08, 2017 11:03 am
Does anyone have a picture of an offside RHD headlight glass.
I bought a pair of lenses last year as the bus came with lefties with tape over them.
Wasn't picked up last year's MOT but at a new garage the offside one kicks up on the right, just like a LHD glass.
The question is, was I sold a pup! By a well known online retailer, trouble is, as it's over a year it looks like I'll have to buy another.
But I want to make sure the glass is wrong first.

And then why didn't you google "Hella 7034" which would have led you to this?:

Thanks hadn't seen that, I searched for
Splitscreen RHD headlight Hella 7034
But was given a couple of Ssvc links, broken pictures and dealers pages.
Looks like at least I have the correct glass, I checked if the bulb was square and it wasn't seated properly.
The pattern is counter intuitive as the RHD off side glass has a triangle pattern that would appear to give a kick up. It just doesn't do that.
Optics eh! I'll stick to the bar type

That makes sense as to why they are different from the pictures on Jim's site.
Although I bought them as just replacement lenses.
Why does the offside have an arrows pointing in both directions.
This is the side the MOT chap didn't like.
I like learning things.

UK arrows point to the kerb. I've never worked out what the other arrow is for.
