1/99 Ghia. I6. Oxford green. Tickford thingys, like red stuff on tappet cover and wings. Just bought it before Chrissy. (To get rid of CHEAP AUDI)

The AU ghia you have would be the same as mine only I've owned mine 5 years & only just realised that the non XR AU H/L were different between the models

So that would make them not interchangable? As I've noticed on Ebay aftermart H/L to suit S1/2/3 advertised

you can buy from ford a conversion loom, this allows you to plug a loom into a series 2/3 headlight to "convert" it into a series 1.... so i guess (at the extra expense of getting the loom) you can convert it to work - perhaps when you buy those lights, you have to specify s1, 2 or 3

i havent seen weather the loom thats attached to the body of a series 2/3 can actually be removed........

hope this helps
