What do you mean by upgrade, Stevo ???

Do you have stone chip damage to your current one ??

They are complete units so budget £1500 + labour, so over £2k.

EACH one, I hasten to add smile

I find the standard headlight bulbs a bit "meh" ie not very bright.
I knew going to an Aston MD would be pricey,so seeking a bit of advice,LED maybe ,that sort of thing.

Or the self leveling mech in the HID not functioning as intended. That could be down to the level sensing which is elsewhere on the car, or some other aspect of the controls.
Or it could be too much wking smile

Thanks lads,very useful bit of technical advice.
Anybody other than me would have Yankee Steve DB9VolanteMan or GTech Gerry on heat to answer my query.
Anyway spoke to Main Dealer and Gaydon and went in for testing,they both agreed my eyesight was ok,so looks like it could be too much wking.
