H7 conversion takes a little bit of modification but is possible. The H4 conversion is straight forward as the later 02 models have the h4 headlight units. |

Hi Richard, Thanks for the advice, I read the AutoExpress report too. I can't really think of a better alternative then HID to improve the poor lighting of the 02 headlights... |

Who knows their headlights?? Will later H4 reflectors from an all black grill fit the earlier chrome grill buckets? |

Hi All, I installed an H4-3 HID kit in my Chysler Sebring. H4-3 is a single HID bulb that slides in and out for dip/main beam. Normally refered to as Bi-xenon. |

I put standard brand new complete post 74 H4 units on my 2000 touring a few years ago and don't find them to bad at all. |
paul hill | 22 September 2008 10:16 |
|
I would also like to upgrade the lights. how can you upgrade to h7 bulbs? My headlight bowls wont even accept the new type h4 bulb? |
James Child | 12 September 2007 11:21 |
|
No I haven't yet James, I thought I might go for H4 or H7 upgrade on the h/lights as I'm using a Bosch 14v 90amph alternator on the Evo sport engine. |

There must be a kit out there that will work because I have seen pic's of a 2002 with hid lights. Try Ca automotive http://www.ca-automotive.co. |

My headlights are useless & need replacing (reflectors perished). Has anyone replaced some from a different car with 7" lights, eg. |

Hi Doug, I did also consider the H4-3 kit as I saw it advertised at Brooklands. I liked the bi-xenon ability of the kit but I wasn't to impressed by the pricing which is why I... |

Hi Kev I replaced the headlights on my '71 (pre - 71) 2002 with American headlight buckets which will take conventional UK light units. |

There has been a lot of discussion on headlights in the past. I don't know how long the threads are kept, but you could try a search on the jiglui site. Cheers, John. |

splashed out on my tii, but not complete lamps. i thought the lenses were quite cheap, mines a '71, and they were about £15 each. they're a bit more for the h4 ones. |

Hi Guys, I also have used the USA buckets too with an early grill and used Australian made Hella units. Only problem is that they sit further back from the grill surround. |
John Hudson | 23 September 2008 08:59 |
|
Hi, You're right, the buckets are the same but the lenses throw a different light pattern on low beam. |
Robert Snow | 22 September 2008 21:22 |
|
Hi Kev I don't think so, the buckets seem to be universal and I'm fairly certain that its the glass (lens) patern that determines LH or RHD. |
Michael Smailes | 22 September 2008 20:39 |
|
Hi Kev I doubt anything will be a "straight swap", but with a bit of bodging and some initiative you can probably manage something. |

I use a PIAA bulbs and have replaced the reflectors. This resolves the problem. You can purchase new reflectors from Jammic |

The reflectors inside my headlights have corroded as well, Can you just buy the reflectors or do you need compele new units which i supect will cost a fortune?. |

Hi Paul, Are your headlights custom design for the 2002 front grill or are they available off the self from Hella? Great car, saw it at Gaydon! |

Great show and to finally out some faces to forum names after missing DID. And of course made me lament the fact my car is back off the road. |

Hi Kev, I could not find the link, but I am sure that the the lens come without the adjusters. Cheers, John. |

Cheers John, I guess you mean part 4 in the picture but it doesnt appear to have the twp adjuster bolts which are part of the 02 reflector. |

I've done exactly that on my tii, kev. The beam pattern is fine. Probably not quite as good as with a h4 glass but not by much. |
Russell Crawford | 10 July 2009 08:30 |
|
Not an expert on the lenses but I did fit new h4 complete units on my 72. It was a fiddle to do and the chrome grilles had to have a 'spacer' inserted to make fit properly. |

Hi Harvey, I assume these would be the same as E21 320/323i & poss MK3 capri. Either way, they should be easier to find than a good standard headlight. |

Hi Kev, I have tried what you have suggested (see me previous comment re headlamps) and you end up having to modify the headlamp bucket too much. |
