Hagar Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Hi all, first post. I have a 1.4 1997 ZX Estate, RHD, and I'm now living in France. I need to replace the headlights with their LHD equivalent to pass the French CT (MOT) and re-register.The indicators will also need replacing due to cracks/damage, I may as well do it at the same time. The current units are twin H1. I have seen H4 units for sale much cheaper are they interchangeable albeit with a bit of electrical work ? Are the mounts the same? They seem a lot cheaper. I have also seen some after-market replacement units which cost a bit more. Some have the indicators integrated into the unit. Are they worth the extra? Any recommendations appreciated, thanks. Quote

Hi, Try to get the VALEO headlights. they're the OEM for the ZX, and I assume you'll find them cheaper then buying parts with CIT stamp on them. As far as I know - both seats and electric wiring are identical. As for the aftermarket - well, it depends. It's more of personal taste issue - think you can even find "angel eyes" type, or rounded lights. only a matter of money. Quote
