This place comes with no particular recommendation; I found and bookmarked it ages ago, but haven't used them. It might be worth a try? You have to fill in an on-line form, and they will email a price. I paid nearly 100 UKP several years ago for one, so your price doesn't seem…

Hi



I'm looking for the best price for an original headlight (passenger side) for a 2001 (original model) Ford Focus in the UK. Don't need motor, just the light unit itself. Main dealer quoted 88 GBP (inc vat). Does anyone know of a reliable online source.



Thanks for your help.

TBH, I paid nearly 100 UKP several years ago for one, so your price doesn't seem too bad.

Never use carb cleaner to remove glue from a plastic headlight...

Reliable? Dunno. But eBay does seem to have a reasonable turnover of FBP (Frequently Broken Parts).

88 squid inc VAT doesn't sound so bad though, assuming it includes glass, reflector, housing, all bulbs, brackets, screws/bolts etc.

Dropped them an e-mail - thanks.

Paid quite a bit less here in France for froggie (LHD) ones but now that I'm coming back to the UK I have just noticed they broke the bracket for the motor on one of the lights when they removed/took it apart for the new ones.

I'll remember that when I remove the deflectors.......
