Struggling to find a Cross headlight at the minute without resorting to a 250 quid one from a main dealer.
Have tried a regular panda one but it doesn't fit as the cross ones are smaller and have mounts for the black trim.

Anyone seen a driver's side cross headlight anywhere?

Cheers

Andy.

This may not help, but Fiat dealer SG Petch have an online parts store. Although they don't list the Cross headlight, they show the normal one at 'just' £150, and maybe can supply a Cross one at a similar price (I suspect that's before VAT)
https://www.sgpetchparts.co.uk/fiat/panda/2012-2015-petrol-0.9-Twinair-85-bhp/Headlight-13640.html

Might also be worth trying Shop4PArts as they can obtain parts other than those they list on their website. They have the regular headlight at £97ish https://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=...nda_IV_(2012_to_)_0.9_TwinAir_Turbo_Headlamps

Your post has answered a question that's been in my head a while, which was 'are the lights different, or does the trim just fit over the standard light.'. Now we know

Yeah the one I've tried is from Shop4parts, it's the only one they stock unfortunately. The only cross headlight on eBay at the min is for the passenger side!

None of these?

Seems to be the same light, just from various different suppliers/manufacturers

...only if they can supply for a right hand drive car. The units are different to give the correct beam pattern.

With a .co.uk you would hope they were UK spec

And didnt incur +40% duty..

The part number they list for the LH headlamp (51 84 3 645 ) is for a left hand drive car (BestPart say 'right hand traffic' on the spec). The part number for RHD is 51 889 245.

I wonder how their business will be affected by the new Brexit rules? Technically, they should now reduce their price to you by 20% (German VAT), but you should then have to pay UK Vat on arrival (the courier company will collect this), plus an import or customscharge on any item costing more than £135. In addition, DHL and others are now charging a handling fee for the processing of the additional paperwork and costs (time) associated with collecting these tax revenues. Owing to these complexities, some EU businesses have stopped their online sales to the UK (a Dutch bike parts place and Belgian beer company being the 'headline' businesses but I suspect there will be more.

For comparison, Shop4Parts list the correct RHD lights (although not for the Cross, the OP's car) at 'good' prices - https://www.shop4parts.co.uk/?name=store&op=Product&ProdID=9387

I've already experienced this, trying to source parts from the EU for my Murena. One widely-used specialist supplier (based in the Netherlands) has point-blank refused to accept an order for delivery to the UK, and the other (based in France) has estimated that the additional costs will be circa 50% more than before 1st January.

Thank you, Boris.

What’s actually wrong with the original headlight unit

At the risk of starting a Big Debate (which I will keep out of), not really Boris to blame. Leaving the EU - and so the free trade area the U.K. had the EU introduce (to help our car industry) - was something all Brexiteers voted for, irrespective of their political view. They seemed not to notice that the end of ‘free trade’ would instead mean ‘trade that’s not free’. Thank heavens there was a deal of sorts, otherwise we’d all be paying import duty (or ‘tariffs’) too! Hopefully it won’t afffect the likes of Shop4Parts too much?

But Doris was a main proponent of Brexit, and it's quite likely that the vote would have gone the other way without his support.

Well! We were stationary on a icy back road while otherwise making imperious progress in a correctly-winter tyred manner.

While I was looking down at the gear shift to snag reverse and pull into a gateway, the Seat Leon coming the other way that i was moving out the way for, had never actually stopped, because they were very slowly sliding down the hill into our OS corner,

Bit of light bumper scuffing, and broke all the mounts on the headlight.
I've done some rough mounts with random hardware and epoxy, but would like a nice replacement at some point.

That’s what I needed confirmation of

Main dealer, or even eBay iirc, can get actual bracket replacement kits to save having to replace the entire unit
