rayjen2k Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I bought a pair of irschmer twin headlight casings without headlights. I assumed it would come with the rear bracket that holds the lights in place. Can these be bought or has anyone ever made something to do the job?

mantadoc Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Depends which headlight bezels you mean. The old Irmscher hella are just a front that bolts to a steel frame with the lights in the later ones the light unit drops in from the front and bolts through the plastic Irmscher Hella Irmscher The light unit Bezels (with lights in the wrong way around) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayjen2k Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 It's the early irschmer type I have that slot onto the metal frame. Funny enough the second I seen your picture I had a flashback of making my own steel brackets for my previous build as they were rusted to dust. I don't have that opportunity now as I don't have facilities to make them :/ Will have to buy I think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayjen2k Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Has anyone ever tried using a different marque headlight setup? Maybe reliant scimitar, bmw E30, Capri etc? I also like the idea of putting a more modern headlight with xenons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamytedan Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 i tried bmw ones, they don't just fit ,after stripping it out from its own bracket and shaving all the notches etc off the sides after an hour or so i got one to slide in ....but still had no way to hold it in place , never finished it . bought the more modern plastic ones instead i got bright bulbs for my head lights and a cheap HID kit for my full beams , its good enough . sorry i cant suggest a solution for the bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayjen2k Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Cheers dynamytedan. So bmw is ruled out so. I'll probably end up having to buy new covers. Teach me to buy stuff without asking for pictures :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary6303 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Jaguar xj6 are the closest you"ll get, have to redrill the bezels just a little to align the lamp and paint the crome light surround black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
