GS1100E Headlight

[Arronduke]

Does anyone have any experience with these headlights?





This is on fleabay and is meant to be a replacement for the original train headlight. The back cover is not black but could it be swapped with an original?

cheers

can't believe the Chinese can't get the hole in the center...WTF
the auction says 7" so i would get confirmation that the lens is 8" for sure.
7" are a dime a dozen.

Its a direct replacement if you want to go from the stock 8" that came on a 1983/1983 1100E to a 7".

well i'd pass and get a factory 7" and and a spacer on each side.
the light posted is -10 quality.

Yep seems that way.

Question... will a USA (right hand side of the road) head light work in NZ were we drive (left hand side of the road) ?

I have a mate the brought a USA 916 and the dimed headlight shown the wrong side and he had to replace both head lights.

I can only assume the nips were not on to this 30yrs ago and all the headlights are the same?

Unless I misunderstand what you are saying, your mates lights were messed up, period. They should light up the lane that the vehicle is in, not the other one, regardless of what side of the road the vehicle is driving on. Were the bulbs in vertically maybe?

Actually there is a difference. R/h drive vehicles have different lenses than a L/H drive vehicle. Whenever a R/H drive is imported into a L/H drive market then the headlights have to be changed because of the light beam blinding the oncoming traffic. Same for a L/H market going to a R/H market.
