Common Headlamp Features

Turn Signal Indicators
The turn signal indicator bulb is located in a holder at the rear of the headlamp assembly, above the outer removable cover. The holder secures the bulb and has contacts which connect with mating contacts integral with the headlamp housing. Rotating the holder in a counter-clockwise direction allows the holder and the bulb to be removed.

Two types of bulb are used for the turn signal indicator. In all markets except NAS, the bulb is a 21 W with orange colored glass and a bayonet fitting. On NAS vehicles the bulb is a 27 W with orange colored glass and a wedge fitting.

Side Lamps
The side lamp bulb is accessible by removing the outer cover from the rear of the headlamp. The 5 W wedge side lamp bulb is located in a holder which is a push fit into the rear of the reflector of the side lamp and static bending lamp (if fitted).

Side Marker Lamps (NAS only)
The side marker lamp bulb is accessible by removing the outer cover from the rear of the headlamp. The 5 W wedge side marker lamp bulb is located in a holder which is a push fit into a moulded receptacle in the outer edge of the headlamp. The side marker lamp illuminates a small rectangular section between the orange side reflectors on the outside of the headlamp.

Tourist Lever
On all headlamp variants a tourist lever mechanism is located on the side of the projector module. This mechanism moves a flap to blank off a portion of the beam spread to enable the vehicle to be driven in opposite drive hand markets without applying blanking decals to the headlamp lens.

The position of the tourist lever varies between headlamp variants and drive hand markets. The following lists detail the lever location and positions for home and opposite drive hand markets.
