Default Saph cossie head lights.

Does anyone have pics of what the correct headlights that should be fitted to 4x4 saph cossies.

I've got Carello ones in my saph. There is a 3 digits next to the name in the headlight lense? Is that correct?? The digits/number is 913..All the headlights ive seen on ebay that are carello lights don't have to number next to the name.

Hi Glenn.....mine have the number after the name stamp.....

I have a plane glass with no number but the lamp body looks to be from a standard sapphire as it has the 2 grill mounting points

Carello 899 and 900 give a very fresh look. Have them on mine.

Just had alook and both lamps have the number on....the spare plane glass is on a lamp from a standard car.

I wonder if its a batch number or there is in fact different models fitted to cosworths, headlight leveling?? Was that ever fitted??

What’s the difference? Is it another type of glass?

So i need my eyes testing.....the o/s lamp is 814 and the n/s is 813

I have another set matching these and another 4 units that have plain glass with just Carello on.

The vertical lines that are pressed into the glasses themself are less hard and therefor less noticable
which give them a more clear and fresh look.

Especially when you compare them to the Bosch headlight glasses.

I wonder if the 2 different numbers denote right and left headlights?

One number is indeed probably for left and the other for right. But there will also be a difference between LHD and RHD head lights. So the 813/814 are probably RHD and 899/900 will be LHD.

All the carello hesdlights I've seen for sale only have the name on the glass and not the numbers.

I'm after a head light for the drivers front cause the chrome part is starting to look tatty.

Hi Glenn, my headlights are different to yours, the carello name is at the top of the glass and the numbers are below on their own. Maybe 2wd and 4wd are different?
