I asked the same question recently - its not a simple job unfortunately.

Do a search on headlights and it'll become clearer.....

I like the cowling on the headlights.

I do not like the ‘two part’ effect of the older model headlights.

Similar to BIIOAB, I had a look at a few previous threads on this subject. Apart from the ‘you should have bought a Griffith’ note, one or two other posters stated it would cost hundreds of pounds.

I hope someone has had it done recently and can help chris-tvr in his quest.

My recollection is that the whole panel was changed, so a simple swap cannot be effected as some bodywork/spraying would be required. It may be doable, but I didn't enquire further!

Wow!

One thing that's obvious from those photos is how strong the chassis are in these beauties!
