Where can i locate used Bentley Continental headlights?
 
Hey guys! I am new to the forum, i don't own a Bentley although i wish i could afford one. I joined because i need some help locating a pair of used Continental Flying spur/GT headlights.

I actually only need the HID "projectors" from the headlights, one left and one right.

Here is a picture with what i need from the headlights. This is a headlight from the right side of the car. The outer projector is the HID projector, the one i need. while the inner projector is just the halogen high beam projector, which i don't need.

If anyone knows where i can purchase a pair (one left side, one right side) please let me know! I can spend a MAX of $200 for the pair...

they only come all in one piece, they are pressure sealed so its very hard to get in to disect any parts even if you wanted to. sorry.

He obviously needs them for a retrofit...

OP, eBay is your best bet. You won't find too many Bentley's at your local junk yard.

Bingo! :) I am interested in the bentley projectors to do a retro in my lexus. I saw a vid on youtube of a GT at night, the cutoff was very impressive.

On ebay there's only one headlight unit, for $800. I'm basically banking on someone having broken headlights, possibly from an accident or what not...

oh, i see, you should be able to find something on ebay from salvage yards in l.a. they would have tons of wrecked gt's laying around.

ahh gooddie :)

I also have to make sure what country i get them from, they need to be from a left hand drive car. In other countries where they drive on the left side of the road, the "step" in the cutoff is reversed.

I believe that may be adjusted on the projector, your best bet is to find out what Projectors it uses. They're most likely of Audi/VW origin. You won't need to find a GT you can probably find them on a Passat, Phaeton, A6, A8, etc.

call www.emotorsny.com they look like they are near you, they have a few wrecked bentley gt's and most likely are not short of salvage parts either.

I can't really determine whether or not the bentley projectors are indeed the same as audi/vw without taking each apart. It would make sense that they'd be the same, but there's no way to tell. I know that on Lexus', not ONE projector in each model is the same, nor do any Toyota's or Scions use the same...

I emailed that site you provided in the last post, maybe u'll get lucky!? Thanks!
