Fiat Ducato headlamp

[55bloke]

Anybody know where there's a driver's side headlight for an '89 Fiat Ducato Mk 1? Got a friend with a motorhome based on one of these, and he can't find a light at sensible money anywhere!

Right I work in a commercial vehicle garage that has the Fiat commercial vehicle dealership, we had exactly the same issue recently and the only place I could find headlamps for these were ebay.

 

Hows this?:

Just be aware that although that the Pug J5/Citroen C25/Talbot Express lamps are the same there was a facelift in about 1991 or so.

Many thanks, will pass it on!! Though no doubt he will say, "HOW MUCH?"

anything where camper vans is involved seems to cost a fortune, so £90 for a new headlamp shouldnt be too painful. When you go in some of those caravan shops, they will happily charge £10 for a spare bulb or £40 for a calor gas bottle regulator that can be bought in your local hardward shop for a fiver. I'm making this up like but they do charge the earth for stuff. £100 for a tea towel etc.

Didn't the Talbot Express use the same parts as the Ducato? Mind you, it's probably even harder to get parts for the Express.

 

EDIT: Are these any good? I suspect they are a bit too rounded. Though £60 for the pair, post free.

Those do look a different shape to the one in the e-bay link above. What are they for?

Yes hence why I wrote that! those lamps you've put are def not the right lamps, I'm wondering if they're Citroen 2CV Van lamps which were a similar shape to what you have there.The early Ducato/Relay/Express/J5 used quite a square lamp untill about 1991 or thereabouts when they changed to a rectangular lamp.
