I have a wash bottle somewhere just need to find it.

Why not install after market headlight with LED DRL and Projectors then fit a HID kit, I think most would recommend this route as the Halogen headlights are rubbish.

agreed there try these they work out cheaper then most used ones

Im just wanting standard ones pal, a headlights a headlight to me

Look for a used set as most new ones you see on ebay are LHD light Patten

[Bloopeta]

Ah I see, thanks for the heads up pal

Take it from someone who drives a fair bit at night... The standard headlights are utter crap! They light up majority of the floor as opposed to what's ahead of you.

[Bloopeta]

Light front, cat c, airbags have deployed, straight forward repair

Ouch that's took a whack. Be interesting to see the process on this. Nice to see a J saved from breaking!

Looks worse than it is, just a bit of bent metal ha. Still starts n drives fine. Repaired alot worse, although this is my first go at a J, lost count of how many Gs n Hs ive done over the years, made a good living off Gs at one point. First car I ever repaired was a 52 plate 1.7cdti eco 4, think was about 2 year old at time. They took a bit more effort tho, was no bolt on crash cans n slam panels n stuff, was all welded. Crash can crumpled on a G, ya had to chop the end of chassis leg and weld a section in from a donor

[Bloopeta]

Now have rad pack and headlights, still need

Bonnet
Slam Panel
Crossmember/crash bar/bumper reinforcement bar
Passenger side headlamp panel
Slam panel
Windscreen washer bottle
Passenger wing
airbag kit inc. Dash and seatbelts

This can be closed now, decided since I dont have the time to do it, I swapped it. Lad who has it now is panelin it up as we speak

[Nemo]

I thought it was my J then until you mentioned 1.7 aha

[Bloopeta]

Haha no mate, ive had that since about June, and never got round to doing it, so let it go to a mate wholl give it a good home, his mams 207 that shes had since 2008 is on its last legs, so ive let him have that to do for her as a replacement

[bhalay207]

I think a 207 comes out of the factory on its last legs doesn't it?
