I think that there are quite a few people thinking of doing this -especially as 'corroded headlight reflectors' seems to be becoming a more common cause of MOT failure.

It does sound a bit scary though, as I understand that they need to aligned and then glued in place.

How about taking some pictures (or even video) of the job so that we can all see what's involved ..?

Cant see that being a problem as long as you index the old lamps against the wall and just use that as a reference for the new lamps while fixing in place ( i.e beam pattern etc ) then you can adjust any error with the Lupo headlamp adjusters at the testing station as you have already set the course setting wink
