As above! For pre-lci you're cheaper off getting a set of aftermarket Depo V2 headlights and fit them, they will be straight plug and play. You could probably chuck a HID kit on them and as long as you calibrate the beam pattern properly and don't use a crazy colour temp you'd get away no bother... although come MOT time you might want to switch em back.

Not that I'm advising that... I'm just saying you could

To get them working properly you need various things such as height sensors, washers etc.
