i have a 1988 renault trafic campervan
i need headlights for her but they are no longer available from anywhere tried most aftermarket and genuine suppliers. so does anyone know a mot passable alternative option to this problem?
can i fit modified spotlights to the bumper with main and dipped beam in them or would this fail

T1000 is the model of the Trafic,the type number will be on the metal oval plate it will start T****.Im sure the headlamps are the same as the early Renault 21s?.
ok thanks not sure where the oval plate is but i have bought a 21 light and they differ from the mk1 trafic. the trafic all four corners are 90 degrees where the 21 slants towards the bottom of the grill and there is a bit of plastic on the back of the 21 light that stops it from slotting in beside the indicator light also the fixing brackets differ
no sorry they differ from mine they are listed from 89 onwards i have been on the phone for over an hour with the seller eurocarparts today only to find out that these are different and they no longer stock the correct lights
If you can find some sort of part/type number it might be worth phoning round a few motor accessory shops, you might find one in a dusty old box or they might know where to get one...just a thought.

There has been other threads recently on this problem ... it does seem they are very hard to source now.
It was a practice to customise cars on the cheap in the '60s / '70s by fitting part from other vehicles (see old car mags for their feature articles). You could for example fit a blanking plate over the headlight aperture and cut a hole to take an aftermarket headlight. You could choose rectangular or round ones..and single lights or double headlights each side. It'd give your camper an individual look too.
Im sure thats the lights he needs.Can you post a pic of your Trafic? And the oval plate is under the bonnet,it really would help if we could have that:d
TTT i have to say these do look right the one i bought angles down toqards the grill but these look like mine more squared off so i have messaged the seller
Thankyou for your help and will keep u updated
Im having a fit here TTT:d.Right lets get this sorted :d:d part number 7701032014 o/s headlamp for your trafic is Valeo part number 069142 and thats the part number as in mine and TTT s link:d ,i got the part number by using your supplied type number.N/S headlamp is 7701032015
Will do. I just looked at the one i bought off ebay and the one u linked to and they look similar. Unfortunatlly the one i bought was wrong. Grrrrr this is soooo frustrating
