Reply to "Wanted - excellent condition Mangusta rear lights, NSF headlight surround"

Denis, in UK we use (NSF)  Near Side Front (ie nearest side to kerb) and OSF Off Side Front (closest to centreline) to distinguish which side of car you're talking about.  To make things completely clear you see.......So there's no confusion....

Of course as we drive on the left and most others on the right side of road,  nearest the kerb  differs depending on which country you are in!!!

Therefore what Chris means is the drivers side of a LHD car (which I think you guys is US would call left side - left if  sitting in drivers seat...)

He wants a left side headlight lamp holder. But do you mean the bulb holder or metal headlight surround? Not sure you can separate the metal bulb holder from bowl - or at least not easily.

From my own post trying to find out correct lights I now believe the outer headlight contains a side light as well as dipped beam in bulb holder at about 6 oclock.  May well be different Euro v US cars (marker lights) and have been told my car may be one of the German assembled cars so have had Cibie's not Carello. See photo upper lamp is outer, lower is inner.  Does your outer headlight have the sidelight within it or within the indicator?  I've seen both on Euro and Oz (RHD) cars

Or do you mean the rubber boot behind the bulb?

Also RHD headlights are different lenses - marked RHD as you can see in photo on bowl) so please clarify what you need.  Although this car is exempt from MOT (Ministry of Transport Test - that's Annual Tech Inspection for our non-UK brothers! - every day is a school day!) the beam pattern will be very different

cheers

and in UK!
