Default Are these correct head lamps for a 3 dr ?

hi All,

my 3 dr has like wide beams ( greyisch surrounding ) for the headlight , all the pics I have seen uptill now have point beams I assume ( silver surroundings .

Were these sold on the 3 dr or were they replaced ?

some 3 door owners use the lower spec headlights so that they can fit a larger intercooler to their cars so it's not without it's plus points

like this



it's not my pic, it's just a random one from the internet

and here is another one, again, random from the internet



so you should be able to see if those extra bits are part of the main headlight or not

even if they are additions, they may be worth something as they may be some long forgotten optional extra

Wrong understanding I assume.

The grey splitter is inside the headlamp not outside .

When I went to buy another cosworth this one had the same ( was a motorsport one ) .

if it's inside the headlamp then it's fine, your original picture does make them look a bit strange though
