yeah thought so , i read it on a search that you could but wasnt sure ,
new lights then £££ more money (well i have one cont light , actually 2 lights but both for the same side :sad2: )
cant just put the covers or stickers on coz it needs to pass a test :crap:

Cheers guys

I had to run the continental lights when I lived in Germany. There's no way around the BFG inspection (or there wasn't in 93/94!)

Have you tried a local breakers yard? Post an add in the wanted section as there are quite a few European members that might be able to help.
