I have a PFL Elite headlamp I was hoping to swap for my damaged MFL CDX one. I can swap or remove most of the different bits, but the Elite sidelamp large black plastic mount is reluctant to come out of the headlamp moulding, although it looks as though it should. I can't use the Elite s/l mount as the plug connections are different. Can anyone enlighten me, or have I bought a pup, and they are not interchangeable? :-\ :-\ :-\ :y

Should be a straight swap :-\
If you ever pass Kevin Wood's way, if he hasn't binned them, he has a set of my MFL projectors, which you are welcome to. Might need a clean though, and defo need adjusters ;D

Pity, I was there two weeks ago! Thanks Jaime. The fittings are significantly different on the one I have.:y

3 bolts to mount, eleite ones will have the washers clamped underneath, otherwise identical AFAICR

Well the one I have has definitely got a different side light housing, with a different plug connector, it looks as though the whole s/l housing should detach from the main moulding, but does not wish to do so. It also has the ballast pack underneath, but that does come off.:-\ :-\ :-\

Ah, thats a MFL Elite or MV6 one then, for HIDs.
Possible to swap levelling motors over, but not sure if you can pop a halogen bulb in it.

Hmmm, wonder if its from a FL, they are a different shape in that area.

CDX model comes with xenon's as standard.

I can't shed any light on your problem but I do have 2 sets of facelift xenon headlights and one set of pre facelift halogen lights. :y
If it were me though I would be tempted to snip the 2 wires going to the s/l bulbs...
-
Now I'm even more confused. I'll check with the seller, but I was sure he said they were off a PFL Elite. :-\

Tempting to do something like this, but I love my old TD and like to try to keep it original. Pathetic I know. ::) ::) ::)

Just checked and it is definitely off an MFL Elite, so I am surprised it is so different to my MFL CDX lamp. :-\

Only on the F/L

The subject should have read" MFL Elite headlamp swap for MFL CDX H/L" but the problem remains. :-\

Cobblers ;)
Only MV6 and Elite came with MFL HIDs.

There lies the problem. MFL Elite is HID. Its a different headlamp to your MFL CDX.
See if Kevin still has my old ones ;)

Erm... That reminds me... :-[
I never did get round to collecting them from the guy who made the ali adjusters. ::)
I need to remember who it was. Vague recollections of him living just up the road from Pitchfork, but that's about it. :(
