I don't think these can be the original headlight units as there were glass and not plastic back in 1994.
hi the previous owner had used beam deflectors and left the glue and a plastic film which had gone very opaque and a right bugger to shift i had to soak it in paint thinners and lots of scraping later i have fairly good lamps,back ones i found v70 pair for £40 so binned the originals,got a set of new number plate lights as well,spoilt.
re the abs it has new front sensors and reluctor rings and i double checked using the ohm meter and both have 1.15 ohm which is right.
the backs never been checked for condition but no codes for rear.
for now i have ditched the abs unplugged and a rubber glove over it and tied up! i have to drive her 300 miles with the evil thing glaring at me,not good for my ocd.
then got till 15th sep to find the fault,cheers
