Designed for left-hand-drive Big Healeys, this replaceable-bulb headlamp unit fits Austin Healey 100, 100/6 and 3000 models from BN1 through BJ8. It is suitable for replacing a damaged, deteriorated or incorrect headlamp unit and allows a choice between a standard bulb and a quartz-halogen alternative. Two light units are used per vehicle.
Two bulb options are available separately for this light unit. For a standard bulb arrangement, use LTG226, the Type 410 spade-fitting headlamp bulb. For a quartz-halogen option, use LTG229A, which has an H4 round-base fitting.
The separate-bulb design also means that a failed bulb can be replaced without replacing the complete headlamp light unit.
Important: This is the left-hand-drive version. For a right-hand-drive car, use the corresponding RHD headlamp unit. This version does not incorporate a pilot lamp.
Replacement is appropriate if the existing lens is cracked or chipped, the reflector has deteriorated, or the car has been fitted with a headlamp unit intended for a different driving configuration. Using the correct LHD version also removes uncertainty when replacing mismatched or unidentified units already fitted to the car.
