Vectra headlights - Cleo123
Hi everyone,

Please can anyone give me some advice?

I have an 01(Y reg) Vectra that must have had a prang before I bought it. The drivers side headlight mount is cracked and the adjuster dosn't work. Both headlights are Valeo make but I can't seem to get hold of them. Are these an after market brand? Vauxhall say that they use Carrello headlights and that you have to buy the motors seperately, erm...£80 each!!!!!!!
Im reluctant to change just one side as they might not match.
If Carrello headlights are correct, does anyone know where I might be able to get them with the motors without having to remortgage the house to pay for them?
Thanks for any wisdom.

Mark.

Dynamic Dave's probably your man for this question but if you can't wait in the meantime, try heading over to www.vvoc.co.uk - They'll probably be able to help you too.

Having just had a quick search on google, Valeo have been known to be fitted to Vectras; but I recognise the name Carrello from the headlights fitted on my old Cavalier, and are used by Vauxhall in general.

There are a few places I know of that you could try for a replacement,

www.autovaux.co.uk for brand new,

or

www.dixonsvauxhallspares.co.uk (turn speakers down or right off beforehand though) or

www.vauxhallspares.co.uk

For 2nd hand parts.
