What Does the Headlamp Do?

The headlamp is one of the most important safety components on any vehicle, providing illumination for safe driving in low-light and adverse weather conditions while ensuring the vehicle remains visible to other road users.

Its primary functions include:

Illuminating the road ahead.
Providing dipped and main beam lighting.
Improving night-time visibility.
Enhancing safety in poor weather conditions.
Maintaining the vehicle's original appearance.
Completing the classic front-end styling.

A high-quality headlamp ensures optimum visibility without compromising the authentic character of a classic Porsche.

Common reasons for replacement include:

Headlamp, Yellow. Porsche 356 1950-65 LHD

64463110107/4

Product Information

Yellow Headlamp – Left Hand Drive (LHD)
Sold each

Restore the authentic appearance and lighting performance of your classic Porsche with this Yellow Headlamp.

Fits:

Porsche 356 1950-55
Porsche 356A 1955-59
Porsche 356B 1959-63
Porsche 356C 1963-65

Designed for Left-Hand Drive (LHD) Porsche 356 models built between 1950 and 1965, this asymmetric E-type approved headlamp delivers the correct beam pattern for LHD vehicles while retaining the distinctive period-correct yellow lens appearance. Suitable for installation on either the left or right-hand side, it is ideal for concours restorations, classic rebuilds and replacing damaged original headlamps.

Manufactured to OE specifications, this complete headlamp combines authentic styling with dependable performance and excellent fitment.

What Does the Headlamp Do?

The headlamp provides forward illumination for safe driving during darkness and poor weather while ensuring the vehicle remains visible to other road users.

Its asymmetric beam pattern directs more light towards the roadside while reducing glare for oncoming traffic, improving both safety and driving confidence.

The yellow lens also provides the distinctive appearance associated with many period European vehicles and classic Porsche restorations.

Why Do Headlamps Fail?

Over time, headlamps deteriorate through continual exposure to road conditions and the elements.

Common causes include:

Cracked or chipped lenses
Corrosion inside the reflector
Reduced reflector performance
Moisture entering the lamp unit
Stone chip damage
General ageing and wear

As the reflector loses efficiency or the lens becomes damaged, light output is reduced, affecting visibility and road safety.

When Should They Be Replaced?

Replacement is recommended if the headlamp:

Has a cracked or damaged lens
Shows corrosion inside the reflector
Suffers from poor light output
Allows condensation into the unit
Has been damaged in an accident
Is being replaced during a concours restoration

Replacing ageing headlamps restores both the appearance and lighting performance of your Porsche 356.

Porsche 356 Headlamps & Lighting Components

Headlight housing, metal, US style. Porsche 356

111941037C/1

Product Information

Headlight housing, metal, US style.
OE Match metal headlight housing in US-style specification for Porsche 356 / 356A / 356B / 356C. Suitable for either side of the vehicle, it is supplied without the headlight insert.

Fits:
Porsche 356 /A/B/C 1.1L-1.6L 01/1950 - 12/1965

What This Product Does

The housing forms the supporting enclosure for the headlight insert. This is a replacement housing rather than a complete headlamp, allowing the surrounding structure to be renewed while a suitable insert is retained or sourced separately.

Functions

Provides the housing for a compatible headlight insert.
Replaces a damaged or deteriorated US-style housing.
Allows installation on either the left or right side.

Technical Details

Brand: OE Match.
Construction: metal.
Specification: US style.
Position: left or right.
Supplied without a headlight insert.

Symptoms of Fault

Inspect the assembly if moisture collects inside the headlamp, the mounting points are damaged or the lamp no longer holds its adjustment. These symptoms can also originate from deteriorated seals, fixings or adjusters, so establish the cause before replacing the housing. Flickering or dim lighting may require separate checks of the bulb, wiring and earth connections.

Why Replacement Matters

A damaged housing can complicate headlamp assembly and sealing. Renewing the affected enclosure addresses that component without treating the entire lamp as faulty. During refurbishment, inspect the insert, seals and mounting hardware so that worn supporting components are not overlooked.

FAQs

Is the headlight insert included?
No. This housing is supplied without an insert.

Is it specific to one side?
No. The supplied fitment information identifies it as suitable for left or right installation.

Will replacing the housing resolve condensation?
Only if the housing is the cause. Inspect seals and the rest of the assembly for damage or leakage before deciding which parts need renewal.
