the later 3r headlight/curved lens has a pretty poor beam in std form - you can get hid bulbs for them
they also have a habit of misting up making the problem worse

Paul Cundy makes a set of lens covers for the gto(3) that fit in

to fit the later light/covers to an early clam is a lot of work and would need the clam to be cut

overall its a lot of work to get you a poorer beam and condensation

i'm happy to stick with the earlier look and to be honest think it suits the car better

I am sorry Gadge, I have done this swap over, and the 3R lights are a LOT better than the 3 lights in terms of night driving...

Did you do it yourself?

I have a 3R, but I just got mine converted to HID. Haven't got it back yet so haven't been able to test it out.

But everyone tells me it will be a lot better.
