If yours is a series 1, i dont believe the headlights can be changed to later, although 2 and 3 can interchange I think (?) GU 4 and on wont fit, completely different, as are grilles etc. The earlier ones have angular indicator and parking lamps.

AFAIK there are no aftermarket replacement lenses, but maybe see what you can find on Saudi/UAE Patrol sites.

Best bet is a wiring loom upgrade (Piranha or Bright Lights, or make your own) and a set of ARB fat boy or Phillips +80% globes. HID replacements in the standard lenses give ordinary results, I wouldnt bother again.

Yes you certainly can.

Just need to use both the indicator and headlight as there is a gap between them if you dont upgrade both.

When I do mine, Ill be getting them from here....

Despite what the site says, they are interchangeable. I havent done it, but seen many that have

I guess that's possible.... But what cost for two complete headlights, a pair of indicators and parking lights? Would it be worth the cost, or substantially better than the units he is replacing?

Prices are on the site. Both genuine and Non.

Aside from looks, the low beam light throw is heaps better. The high beam is atill pretty ordinary, but thats why we have spotties.
