Probably been done to death, but has anyone sucessfully upgraded the headlights on their 400SE? I'm all for keeping the car as original as possible, but as the lights are shockingly poor (and also look pretty crappy). I'm thinking a pair of these http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/product/90mm-main-beam--pai... each side in a custom plate set back within the pop-up units will be a marked improvement. I seem to remember seeing photos of a similar upgrade that someone had done (Red 400se springs to mind?). Anyway, any advice, hindsight I can benefit from would be much appreciated.

cheers

I seem to recall someone putting in projector lamps and then trying to figure out how to stop the pods coming up all the way...

SVC don't show it but Hella offer a nice bi-xenon (dip & main)/

Also, they've just introduced a fully LED dip & main headlight unit - nice but I'm sure expensive.

Ewan,

Some photo's please.
