Got to be honest, my headlights seem pretty decent. Only thing I have done is add some Osram Nightbreakers..

. You clearly eat too many carrots then! I'm interested in these lights! :-)

I'd be very interrested too.

The hight adjustment is broken on the current ones and lenses are deteriorated.

 

Quite a project, fezz. Keep up the good work :-)

xenon is the same as HID. And no, I won't be offering angel eyes but do have a mockup of a DLR setup.

European prices are much higher than UK prices.

 

 

Most places try and quote you for a 'kit'.  This includes the lamp, bracket, nut, washer and that big rear shield bit.  The foam part around the rear shield is 44 quid alone!
