Hey guys, I'm looking for a set of new OEM e-code headlights for my 2001 Disco II. Does anyone have a source?

Thanks!

 

I’m not certain what e code means, but I know pre face lift headlights are kinda gold. Used is probably going to be best.

 

I believe the OP is referring to the Euro-code headlamps versus the DOT code.

Back when I had a classic Porsche and VW habit, it was common to switch from the 7" Hella headlamps (DOT code) to the Cibie (Euro code) versions. The latter gave a more distinct beam cut-off pattern. The light intensity was also more focused in the middle. I recollect there are differences in the internal reflector assembly to create the beam differences. For the side marker lamps, there may also be lense color differences such amber versus clear.

Best route is to get one from a European Ebay site where LHD headlight assemblies are available (though not from the UK as it is RHD).

 

Right, good call. And I knew the drill back in the day when I had a Mk2 16v GTI that had the H4s in it that were great. Also, our G Wagen in a Euro spec that has H4s.

I didn’t actually know there were alternatives to the lights for the D2, so that’s kinda cool.

 

Headlights in Europe have to have an asymmetric pattern by law, meaning that the driver's side headlight projection is narrower or more directed to the center than the passenger's side headlight. Driving on two lane roads at night is not as annoying, since oncoming cars don't blind you too much.
