Euro spec will most likely be left-hand-drive also.

They should be available new as mentioned above. The ones I got were advertised as being for a Mini, often people will sell stuff for a specific fitment and not provide part numbers for cross reference.

can I ask a stupid question, what lights are equiped with LX SS hatchback.
Are they a Halogen H4 flat lense, or a H4 sealed lamp?
I am trying to get the car back to a factory/dealer delivered 1977 SS Coupe as much as I can.
Thanks

99% sure that the SS had H4 as standard fitment and not sealed beams. A9X's also had them as standard fitment too (both 2 & 4 door variants). However they could be optioned on any LX variant. My SLR had them equipped from factory but its built date was September 77, right at the beginning of A9X production.

The LX parts manual lists a standard sealed beam and a quartz halogen sealed beam. There is a hand written notation that mentions SS next to the quartz halogen sealed beam. No mention of a unsealed headlight with a H4 globe.

"50 Years of Holden" by Dr Terry states the following under minor features on page 194.

. 4-door A9X gained quartz halogen headlights (already standard for the SS hatchback).

In the following Dr Terry contradicts his book. It is possible that Dr Terry is referring to the sealed quartz halogen as a H4.

 

I hope I've finally sorted this query out. I've gone back through all the relevant literature I have & found the following:-

Officially at release, the only LXs to get H4 headlights as standard were the SS models prior to A9X introduction. At that time, it was then made standard on the SL/R 5000 as well (which were A9X by then, anyway).

They were however made available as a factory option on any LX as P.O. number TT5.
