Tried using the search but appears to be down at the minute.

I could do with replacing my headlights on the S3, so has anyone got a link to any suppliers. Both reflectors are rusting (one not to bad), so I'll replace both units.

Also what's involved in fitting them?

Thanks,

Russ

i replaced mine with a set of cibie halogan units for a rover mini.they are not sealed units so if a bulb goes now its just a matter of new h4 bulbs,units cost me £19. i had to pad out the lugs at the back of the bowl as they did not line up but a bit of cut down wine cork did the job, been working fine last two years any good motor factors should be able to get them.

Nigel - did you have to do any wiring work or is it a straight swap?

bought mine from tvr car parts, I think I paid £50, but that included everything.

required no change to wiring , h4 bulbs have the same connection as tvr sealed units
