I just wondered if anyone has had issues with pattern headlight units?, Trying to find good original Pre/fl projector units is now getting to be difficult, I know the alloy adjusters are available but one of mine has chewed up the nylon knob thing that the adjustment screw mates up with, I have been offered a couple of these pattern units second hand (but look new) at a good price but as they are already off the car I never got to see if they fitted correctly, So before I commit myself i thought i'd find out if anyone has had problems with these units,,,,,Ta!.

Depo? If so they give a good beam on the road, although I don't know what bulbs where fitted.

But the build is a copy of a week design, so the adjusters are worse, and there's no lever to switch to European driving either.


...assuming they are Depo. Not aware if another make other than the Polish black background chav me ones.

Cheers Chris, Yup they are the Depo ones, I'm not worried about the lever to switch them over, As for the adjusters inside, How could they be any worse than the VX ones  , Ive got the bulbs out of mine I could use (Osram night breaker) so i'd be using them anyway.

If you can get them set up with the beam at the right hight they are prety good tbh.

If....

Oh, just remembered.

I never used the Allen key adjustment, but turned the nylon wheel on the back of the light by hand.
