Hi does anyone know of a replacement headlight. I've seen a couple of second hand ones but have had no luck with searching using any of the code number on the lenses. Or is it now just a case of get second hand one and hope there are available if and when you need?

Unfortunately the actual pop up headlamp is not part of the "parts bin" system used on most Suzuki vehicles . So it is a case of finding a decent second hand item or finding the ones that people may have bought NOS and hoarded :twisted:

Is yours damaged? There will be 2nd hand ones in the club should you be in need of to get yours back on the road.

What exactly are you looking for. Is it just the glass lens or the complete unit. I could probably accommodate you with either.

Well well well, tonight watching wheeler dealers , they worked on a 1982 Toyota supra , but only 1 headlamp popped up, the mechanic lifted the bonnet to point out the manual winding device ....low and behold exactly the same as the pop up katana ;)
Probably just a rare now though :|

Do you want a complete unit (motor et al) or just the lamp. Got either/both.

I bet Toyota used that in all kinds of other vehicles at the time so the parts counter might have them.
