Headlight for 2005 Vectra

2005VECTRA · 05-09-2015, 06:44 AM

Does anyone know the auto mfg that was used for headlight on the 2005 Vectra?

2005Vectra,
Take a look at the link below. It's from ebay.
2004 Itasca Horizon headlights | eBay

Now take a look at the next ebay link:

2001 2004 Fits Nissan Frontier Pickup LH Head Light Assembly | eBay

Then take a look at the next link for the Mountaineer:

Mercury Mountaineer LH Headlight 02 03 04 05 | eBay

You can clearly see the second link, for the Nissan Frontier is the one Itasca used for yours and our coaches. Ours is the '04 Horizon. And, be sure to check the prices for the Horizon ones vs the Frontier ones. As soon as mine get too bad and will not polish out, I'm picking up the Frontier ones.

Scott, the Horizon and Vectra use different headlights--the Vectra does indeed use the Mountaineer ones.

Somewhat related to this thread.....

I own a 2005 Itasca but it is a Suncruiser.

I would like to replace the TAILLIGHTS with the type used in the 2008 Suncruiser. I'm not certain if these are an exact exchange but I want to replace with the clear type lens.

Here is my 2005 Suncruiser tail lights.

Replace with these 2008 Suncruiser but aftermarket.

Chris,
Well Sir, I hate the term "My bad" but, I truly have to apply it to me on this one. There are so many similarities on the two coaches that I surely thought the headlights would be identical. What an airhead. Thanks for straightening me out.

The only significant difference between them is the end caps--completely different head and taillight setups.

Thanks to all replies, have ordered mercury parts.

Chris.. where do you take your RV for service?
I am in Windham NH. i've used Freightliner in Londonderry for FL support, but i'm lost for who to trust for good Winnebago/Itasca support. Not thrilled with what i've seen at CW or Campers INN.
I've used Bill's RV up in Chichester.. He's 'OK" but more for TT than DP. Have you used the one out in Salisbury ? name escapes me at the moment.. Bob's RV ??

thnx..

We ordered our Vectra through Campers Inn and had good support from them during our warranty period, when they did a number of repairs for us, but I haven't had service there for years now, so I don't know what it's like. I've done most of my own maintenance/service since then (except for regular chassis service from Freightliner).
