    Pit crew racing replacement headlamp?

    What's up mazdaroadster, so as I was washing my car today I noticed something has struck my headlamp I tried searching for the replacement part and the results lead me to 7inch old school Mini Cooper headlamps. Are these the right ones? Brand is Wipac Quadoptic. Any info will be greatly appreciated!

    Sorry about your injury. Really! Phat and FWDT might be the one's to PM on this as they seem to hover in the JDM market place more than most. Just saying...

    honestly dont know, I have a Pitcrew bumper in storage that im holding for a friend, but not sure what lights they used on them? But it does look like a Mini Cooper light

    Get some like these, they look way better, just measure yours to see if they are the same.

    Lights on a pitcrew are the old skool lights from mini's, etc. When I built my pitcrew all the parts came from a mini spares shop outside London.

    Same headlamp used in Spitfires, Defenders etc. If you use a MX5 replacement lamp, you lose the ability for a sidelamp.

    Modern Defenders I believe use polycarbonate freeform Wipacs. I suppose if you were really being picky, the lamps fitted would be a Japanese brand, such as PIAA, Stanley etc, but they're probably not available with a RHD beam cutoff.

    You can no longer get replacements and your Pitcrew front end is now useless... Out of the kindness of my heart, I'll take it off your hands.

    Thanks for all of the help guys! The guys from Wipac emailed me back with two options, now I need to figure out what a pilot light is haha

    "Hi Ben these are available,does this unit have a side/pilot light ,if so part number is S4701 or without the pilot S4697.Moss in the USA should stock these."

    Sweet, I ordered from a old school mini site so it should be the right part

    I would imagine that the pilot light is also known a "City Light" or a "Standlicht".
    They look cool on Vdubs.
    I have a pair of H4 Cibies E-codes w/city lights for my '41 Chevrolet.
