I have a Mod in progress to update F Headlamps, I have only one one but once the other is completed i'll post up pics and a 'How Too' guide !!!
Just out of interest, is it a legal mod?

Oh dear, I seem to have neglated this.

I think I know where you're going with this. HIDs? Right?
When I had my Nissan in for its MOT, I had a long conversation with the tester about HIDs.
He clarified the position regarding legality versus passing an MOT.
For the MOT, they only test beam pattern and beam aim. Even if these are OK, they can fail a car for headlights being too dim, but there is no upper limit for brightness. i.e. They can't fail a car because the lights are too bright.
So retro-fitted HIDs will pass an MOT test. Assuming all else is right regarding pattern and alignment.
HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you can't be stopped by the Police as soon as you leave the MOT test station and prosecuted for illegal headlamps, because the Department of Transport has decided that retro-fitted HIDS are illegal unless they are e-marked, self-levelling and have headlamp washers.
In other words - retro-fitted HIDs are illegal, but may very well pass the MOT test.
I hope that helps clarify the position.
