Appreciate there are a lot of threads about the Mk3 headlight conversion but most seem to discuss having the job done professionally at one of the accepted suppliers ( Central / Sportmotive )
Just wondering if anyone has fitted the full kit themselves and how easy / difficult it may have been?
Just to be 100% clear I am not talking about the Steve Edwards conversion.
Also , if anyone has a pic of the conversion on an imperial blue Chim it would be appreciated. biggrin
Cheers

Not too bad to do, just have to mark twice and cut once!!! if your careful there will no need for paintwork apart from spraying the inside of the shells and be careful with the Sikaflex!!
I did do a bit of a write up will see if I can dig it out
Unfortunately last year I had a little "excursion" so I am having to do them again!!

Rich,
If you could pm me the link I'd be much obliged, although it looks daunting, with a bit of research and a sensible approach I think it's something I could do as part of the winter lay up.
I'd probably think about cutting slightly too small and then opening up gradually to get it spot on.
Cheers
Ian
