Re: Headlights swap
All the lucas ones can be made to fit. These were about £40 - for a pair.

Re: Headlights swap
Thx for replying! Just got the bus and loads of jobs to do...
I managed to get smoked MK1 golf ones to fit in the end from vw heritage - about £50 (they do angel eye ones too - pretty bling). I had to modify my van brackets slightly by filing out the hole where the plastic post was to then fit ta 3rd adjusting screw off the golf brackets. I then used the spring from the golf brackets to help keep it all tensioned ok, had to drill a small hole for the spring to hook into.
I also put the black plastic surrounds on from the old lights which neatens it all up.

Re: Headlights swap
What I did after painting the grille and spoiler was to araldite it to the grille in 5 places and clamp it overnight. The spoiler isnt curved enough so when you fix it in place it puts a bit of tension on the whole thing but its fine. To fix it I used some wide headed allen screws you can see them in the corners just under the spoiler. I had to drill through the grille and then drill holes in the metal brackets behind the headlights.
Seems to work ok and Ive removed it a few times - not sure if there is a better way - I would prefer to not have the screws showing ideally.. I took out the 5 orig pins that hold it in as there is no way to reach them with the spoiler in place...
