We need to know the size but a LandRover Defender might fit.
Do you need a Left Hand Drive headlight, maybe you need both sides for matriculation?

Re: headlight

Hello
Headlights are asymmetrical - giving a little higher beam on the passenger side. So in the UK it is left and in the rest of Europe right side.
Depending where you live/register your should use the right lights.
I assume you are looking for the standard 7'' lamps (178 mm) if you need the European version this might help:

or

Slightly different in shape.
I have these and are OK. If you have doubts I may help - there are versions with and without position lamp and with and without the bulb gasket.
I decided for the H4 bulb type. Will try to make a photo today but not sure as I'm leaving for 1-week holiday today.
Best regards
Roman

-headlight-conversions and then use continental bulbs that dip to the right.

On most cars, it's not the bulb that deflects the beam, it's the design of the reflector and headlamp lens that primarily creates the light pattern.

I think the OP has a UK built car in France, which causes confusion, as he has a RHD car, but needs LHD headlamps.

So there are two options,

1. Replace both the existing RHD sealed beam headlights with LHD units. They look to be Main and Dip beam lights, with no sidelight.
2. Replace both existing RHD headlights with LHD Halogen conversion units, which will give better illumination but at a higher cost and some rewiring as the connectors will be different. Care must be taken to ensure that sidelights are not required.

Looking at relative costs, the link I provided is about 40% cheaper than Demon Tweaks, after postage to France.


Of course, these LHD Sealed Beam units are not exclusive to the UK and may be found at French Motor Factors, so some postage costs may be avoided.
