Hi,
The problem started with my headlamp beams too high to pass technical control. Looking closely, my Longchamp has 2 types of headlamps : LH side has a R2 lamp type and RH side a H4 type. It's like the car has been repaired in the past with uncorrect part. The body has no shade of repair, so may be just one headlamp was broken and replaced

I managed to get a pair of H4 headlamps on ebay.de from a Granada Mark 1 (I checked prior that they definitely come from a MK1 or Consul of these years, the Mark 2 doesn't work , size is slightly different and rear case is different).

I have a doubt now on what are the RH and LH parts. References I can read on glasses are :
Installed on my car,
RH (H4lamp ) : BOSCH H4 - Halogen 61 R20 , small No on lower RH corner : 1 305 620 182
LH (R2 lamp) : BOSCH E1 - 14518 R1 , small No on lower RH corner : 2 305 620 001

Now the parts I got , both H4 lamps: BOSCH H4 - Halogen
one is 61R20, small No on lower RH corner : 1 305 620 182
the other is 60 R20 , small No on lower RH corner : 1 305 620 181

There is also a yellow sticker on rear case. One I can read is 0301 014 110 - 75 GG 13005 CA. The other is worn , I cannot read properly
Those figures are for LH drive car, I guess they may be different for RH drive.
Anyone can tell me the readings on his headlamps?

OK, I can confirm information from Simon part No engraved on the lower glass corner ended on 2 is the RH side, ended on 1 is the LH side.
The correct No for H4 headlamps are:
- LH side 1 305 620 181 - 60 R20
- RH side 1 305 620 182 - 61 R20
another clues :
-the setting mechanism on lower face is close to the letter R or L matching the correct side(you may need to scratch the oxide to find it)
- the yellow Ford label shows a large R or L (when you can read it)

LH side:

The headlight setting mechanisms are very hard to turn. After the headlamp is removed (it may take some time to remove it fromcthe case)you can fix that in brushing the threads, adding some drops of oil, then removing it carefully, scratching all the oxydes on metallic area and put some grease under the nylon slider. Just put in back in place, and tight a little the C-hole bracket
