My Hymer has just failed the MOT on poor light output from the dipped beam headlights. The lamps have been removed and were clear but someone in the past has fitted 100W lamps which aren't street legal for a start and it looks like they have burnt the back of the reflector causing the poor output. This means I need to replace the complete headlights but I am having a right job locating a pair as Hella say they are obsolete and no longer have any in stock as do most motor factors. I found one on Amazon and have ordered it but I am not confident it will turn up as it looks like it was being supplied by Hella. Brownhills have one at a staggering £173!! Has anybody with similar A class MH's changed their 124mm dipped beam units for the Hella 90mm units which are still available? I have seen one Hymer similar to mine which has smaller lamps with a stainless surround fitted to fill the hole in the front bodywork but not sure of how much work is involved or where the kit and surround can be supplied from. Van is a Yr 2000 680 Starline on a Merc chassis.
