The headlights on my 2002 Chim 500 are not great. Does anybody do an upgrade?

Many a thread on this,just put headlight upgrade into the search engine

I did a comparison test a few years back for Sprint.

The Phillips 'daylight' bulbs came out best - I'm still using them.

Mine were awful. My local dealer fitted new reflectors and it has revolutionised the view.

Its still not as good as my Mazda, but that has gas discharge lamps. However the new reflectors make a huuge difference.

My 4.3 has just had the Mk3 head lights fitted, seems a very popular upgrade.

I thought the Mk.3 headlights were the same as standard ones but just with the "Griffith" style faired in perspex cowling?

I really do miss the Xenons of the RX-8 that I had before but I don't fancy the Xenon conversions that have been done to the Chims in the past ... the Lupo lights look pretty standard and I like the ones that I've seen that have been done ... wondering about that and maybe even trying to get a set of Lupo GTi lights for the Xenons...?

Well you learn something new every day ... I didn't realise that the Mk3 lights were HID's/Xenons!

Thanks.

No, I think you can get the parts pre painted, but not sure.
Can some one else advise?
