Title: 1975 Hillman Avenger headlight replacement
Post by: Jodi on August 16, 2025, 11:07:02 AM
Hi, I have a 75 Avenger (LAM839), failed WOF on headlights.  I replaced 1 with a Lucas a couple of WOF's ago, but now the other one has failed.  Sick of trying to source original parts, does anyone know if there is a modern swap out you can get for these?  The measurements are approx 180 x 120 rectangle.  Hubby thought he'd read a comment from someone saying there was a toyota hilux one that could be subbed?  Any help appreciated, thanks.
