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...

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!
