Does anyone have a Lucas headlamp they would sell me? My daily driver EK sedan has a sealed beam LHS headlamp that's blown. I'd really like to fit an original Lucas unit to match the RHS instead of a new sealed beam lamp.
Cheers.

G'day Autobilly,

I suspect that I have a pair of the Lucas sealed-beam bulbs. It's been a while since I pulled them out and checked though. if I have one you are welcome to it, gratis.

Only drama is that I am on the road for work - if I have one, the earliest I can get it into the post for you would be the 19th of June.

Cheers,
Harv

G'day Harv, thanks for the offer, it's very kind of you.
I re-read my post and made a change to make it more accurate. Just to clarify, I'm after an original Lucas non-sealed beam headlamp (the kind you can change the bulb on). If this is what you have and would like to donate (or sell) it to a worthy cause, I would be very happy to get it as soon as and whenever you can send it.

Sorry mate, the two Lucas units I have are both sealed beams (not the "light bulb" type).

Cheers,
Harv

If you can tell me how to tell LHS from RHS I might have one for you.
But after driving Milkshake for 12 months with the old type I'm gobsmacked that you would do it?..

LH and RH are both the same AFAIK.

Thanks Andrew..I shall wait for him to PM me I guess
I have a nice one that dosen't need resilvering

Yes, they are both the same. I would like to fit the non sealed-beam type because it's original and matches the other one.
PM sent.

Look I have to ask, Have you driven one of these old girls with the original lights?

Yes mate, good question. In answer to yours, yes I've driven either an EK sedan or ute every day for twelve and eight years respectively with only one sealed beam headlamp between them. Lucas isn't called the "Prince of Darkness" for nothing.

The Lucas headlight switch on my old BSA had 3 settings - OFF, DIM, FLICKER

Yeah, I had an M21 (Beeza) in the eighties that had one of those switches.

Thanks for your generosity Wayne, it arrived today.
It's in excellent condition.

Cheers mate
