Jack - they are incorrect and probably getting confused with the picture on service Citroen!

Here is an extract from the Valeo parts catalogue for you (click to zoom it up). You can clearly see the valeo part number and underneath the corresponding Citroen Part as listed in my second picture, which is direct from service Citroen live today, using your VIN, that shows the same left and right part numbers!

So I would suggest they get their referencing correct. I can't say it plainer than that. There are a lot of variations on these lamps between the facelfit models and years, plus disharge / non-discharge, right hand / left hand models.

Hello

They are not yet been released by Valeo, I have been told by Valeo, this why everyone is so cagey about them.

If you look in the green circle on the Valeo picture I posted Jack - it says "available soon"

I still posted the links as there is no way of telling when that catalogue will be updated :wink:

I have futher news

Do you speak French?

There is a forum called "Planete Citroen" and I have asked my younger brother to do some digging for me and it is worth paying the joining fee to get those very good prices.
The headlight is down to under €700, which I think for the OEM stuff supplied by Citroen is a bargain...

The Citroen pricing is currently £742 inc VAT - so 826 Euros - but of course that wouldn't include VAT if you've got a relative getting it from L'orient . Normally with shipping and any VAT it might be prohibitive and therefore a similar price in the UK.

One thing - are you rescuing the ballast and the D1S bulbs from the old light and are they in working order? The ballast is another £256 if not.....

Hi Marc

From L'Orient, I can get them at €643.16, without the ballast.

I've created a spread sheet and for the moment the total cost is clos to £4.5K.

Have you found a video or something which shows how to remove the bumper?
