Lhd headlight

[Rev993]

Hi all,

I'm considering the ftype, and to export it to Spain.

I need lhd headlights. Had a quick look and looks like £2000.. On top of that plenty of other costs incurred.

Has anyone had any experience getting these for reasonable money to use in spain and if so where please?

Thanks

I live in France and considered exporting a UK car.
Whilst the headlights are almost flat they would fail a French MOT, so instead bought a UK car which spends most of its time in France, never ever gets flashed while on dip beam. I could not source LHD headlights for what I felt was a reasonable value (F-Types are rare here) so have left the car UK spec.

I don't know what the rules are in Spain but importing a car to France is now much more expensive than it was pre-brexit, import duties + VAT + tax on registration. I have previously brought over a few cars and mbikes without issues.
