I have an 88 Turbo: will US parts fit a UK car? I looked at the US Pelican parts catalogue and the part number is the same as for a UK car 951 631 211 00-yet a US seller says they are not the same. What is the correct answer please?

I believe they are the same shape but don't have either the main beam light in them. I remeber a discussion on rennlist a long time ago about this and the EU lights fit the US cars, but they are both LHD. I'd guess that the US lenses would direct the light in the wrong direction too.

I didn't realise the foglights also were main beam lights-I assumed they point straight forward .
I thought the pop up lights were the main and dip beam.

My excuse is I've only had the car for a week

The above is correct. The pop ups also have full beam and main beam.

If it helps I have a uk drivers side lamp in working order?
