'Sport' vs. 'Non-sport' headlights - jcapdor - 26:th-Jan-2019 Hello all, I'm in need of a new headlight assembly on the driver's side of my 2013 J Sports Tourer (A16LET engine & standard non-Xenon non-adaptive headlights.) I'm browsing through listings on eBay etc, however there seems to be a distinction between 'Sport' and 'non-Sport' models when it comes to compatibility. I'm a bit thrown by this as I'm in Australia where the J was sold under the short-lived Opel brand with no 'Sport' model in the lineup. Can anyone shed a bit of light on what a Sport model is? Is it perhaps referring to 3-door vs. 5-door (as these are obviously a different headlight shape?) Many thanks in advance. RE: 'Sport' vs. 'Non-sport' headlights - Rusty2009 - 26:th-Jan-2019 The GTC and 5-door headlights are different. On your current headlight do you have a LED DRL / Sidelight or a Bulb which covers both also there is chrome and black version. I have found ebays compatibility thing mostly wrong.

I agree about the compatibility checker and the sellers tend not to have much of a clue either unfortunately. The DRL/sidelight is a bulb, but not too sure about chrome vs. black. These are some photos of the left-hand undamaged side which hopefully show one or the other. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1I04o_vYhzBnVd5b_nC89CNR91Q5qhaXt https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cs4OxtWwD-lt9k7oGfWUFcqs-yAWJFbP Really appreciate the help! RE: 'Sport' vs. 'Non-sport' headlights - Rusty2009 - 27:th-Jan-2019 Ok so you have the black now there is 2 versions of black also one with lines on it and one smooth. If you PM your VIN I'll see if I can get the part number you need. |
