My d/s headlight got cracked and now it doesn't work if it's rainy or moist out. Do I have to replace the entire headlight assembly or just the bulb?
Thanks!

you must replace the whole light $100 and bulb $5 |

he's right, moisture is getting thru the crack and blowing that hot hallagon bulb. |

Headlamp is not $100 - $56 from Nathan for "E" spec!

What's "E" spec? I have a stock 95 Disco.
Thanks! |

E spec means that it is a European headlight.
The US DOT light regs suck, to be honest. The European lights put more light out on the road, while having a good cut-off to keep the lights out of oncoming drivers' eyes. Much better.
While illegal, the E-code lamps wouldn't be noticed by anyone, except that you would see better at night.
FWIW....

I've got the same problem with a crack/chip on my 95, however the moisture on the inside of the lamp hasn't toasted my bulb yet. The chip is quite small, I was thinking about trying a CB fix and using one of those glass chip repair kits they sell at Wally World or Kame Apart. Anybody think it will work? |

FWIW. check with you insurance company. they may cover it. i have a $0 deduct. on headlights and windshields. on my 2nd light. 2nd time was not from a rock on the road though.  |

How can I contact Nathan? I need both headlights. $56 sounds like a good price. |

If I change the one cracked headlight to "E" spec, does that mean I should change the other one as well? Would you be able to notice the difference if they were not a matched set? |

[email protected] is his address. http://www.discountrovers.com is the website. limited parts listed on the site though.
don't know if the E codes look all the different, but for $56 you may as well get both and sell the other one here. |

Should have clarified - I'm sure Nathan can also get you NAS spec headlamps. I just ordered an "E" spec one today to replace a cracked one (hot light and cold water don't mix well - doh!)
BTW - I have an extra NAS drivers side for $20 if anyone wants.
