I understand your situation Tom, where have you looked?
There will be very cheap lenses, if you look in the right place.

Re: Headlight Lens
more likely,.being based in the uk, they can sell a lot more of the LHD version, so can charge more.Major Softie wrote:I guess it's just economy of scale: they make a lot more of the "continental" ones, so they can make them in bigger batches for a lower cost per piece.moosehead wrote:Motobins in the UK has them. I ordered one from them last year - 20 GBD for "continental dip" (for us who drive on the right side of the road)....for the lefties they're 28.50 GBP...don't know why the price difference?

Re: Headlight Lens
I doubt that. Most parts prices (unless they are for more "rare" NLA parts) are dependent on the dealer's cost. I'll bet the left-hand drive lenses are more expensive everywhere.Rob Frankham wrote: more likely,.being based in the uk, they can sell a lot more of the LHD version, so can charge more.
