next to impossible to find :(
best bet is to use RHD lenses with LHD shells

Thanks chris, are the lenses easy to find then?

They occasionally come up on ebay.
Usually scenario is that you use the old ones that's if it's a a UK RHD model. If you have an imported LHD you will have a problem.
I used LHD lights on my 500 and it was never a problem, but I think my MOT man was kind.

Are 500 the same as a 126. If so I have a set of 126 lenses in my shed.

My 500L has always had LHD headlamps . Come MOT time I just stick a bit of tape on the lenses then when I get home I take it off for the rest of the year. However as a precaution I have worked out a solution using Triumph 5 3/4" sealed beam units which you can buy cheaply in any motor factors or ebay [-/

Nope, 500 is round, 126 is oblong

I fitted Triumph sealed beam units in my 500, I had to grind out a small section of the chrome surround return lip, at the rear to get the unit in place. I cut down the old light unit fitted it over the sealead beam used the original wire clips etc. it fitted just like the original.
