RHD headlight lenses

[John Kanters]

I know this won't be easy but I will need to try and get hold of a pair of RHD headlights or lenses.
My headlights are the non sealed beam ones but being LHD are no good to me in a RHD country.
Let me know if anyone knows of anything.

Just so it's easier for T34 owners to check their spare parts, here's a pic of the LHD and RHD Euro headlight lenses. When looking at the front, the LHD lens triangle section points to the right & the RHD lens triangle section points to the left.


The RHD lenses are really really tough to find. I traded my M346s RHD lens to Chris Wright to make his 1964 more authentic. Here in the USA it's not that important to me to have RHD lenses.

Thanks for the clarification Lee, here in NZ its actually illegal to have LHD lenses as they tend to blind oncoming traffic so I'll have to come up with something before it goes on the road.

Is there another larger glass lens that could be ground down? Looked up the parts and it seems to suggest that there is a RHD and LHD reflector to further complicate things!

[John Kanters]

I've read that BMW 2002 lenses are supposed to fit so I'm currently exploring that option.
A friend of mine is a BMW parts guy, he's getting me the exact measurements for me to confirm if this is the case or not.
Failing that I'm not sure what I'll do, the LHD lights won't allow me to get the car legal here.

update, upon inspection my car actualy has sealed beam lights so that should be pretty easy? T34 sealed beams are a std size?

[Lee Hedges]

Yes, sealed-beam headlights are standard 7" and are available in both 6V and 12V. Let me know if you need help finding some.

I restored a 1952 chevy truck for a customer and , updated his lights with 6V halogens 7"- for those of you with 6v systems- let me know if you need source. Gabrielli
