How Do I? you know those plastic head lamp bowls?

[nobber]

what do you get with those?
i need two complete headlamp kits and was wondering about plastic bowls.
basically i have a choice , buy two kits (not cheap) or buy the parts seperatly using plastic bowls (not sure of cost).
so , the seating rim , do i get it with my plastic bowls or is it a seperate thing?

Visit your local car breakers yard. Minis are getting rare in scrap yards but you'll find a couple usually. They have plastic headlight bowls, normally the light units would have been broken or removed but the bowls are always there for the taking. They will cost you pennies ! A quick wash in a bowl of water and they will be as good as new. HTH

Along the same lines, try mkII golfs, may have the extra parts you need!
