    Dont forget to put in some new bulbs while you've got the lights out, Pedro

    I installed a set of 4 Osram Nightbreaker H7's. (claimed +90% extra light !) purchased online from the UK. They made the lights even better. My Cibie Oscars just add extra long range light.
    Cheers

    Yep Pedro, upgrade your bulbs, I put in Narva blue power H7's on low beam and Phillips brand on high beam. Massive improvement. Whiter light and better spread. I have a cheap set of Narva 100W driving lights and the set up is preaty good. You even get a pair of parking light globes with the Narva bulbs with a blue tinge.
    Regards

    Geez, you should have stuck to the pre-upgrade D2. Twist three clips and the headlight is out.

    The seals/o-rings all seem to be in place, might try some race tape

    G/day Pedro how did you go fixing your headlight....
    Got home today found water that has been running down the clear lense on the passenger side head light & fogged up.
    Took the head light out, quite abit of water came out when tipped headlight over.
    Did you work out where the water was getting into yours.
    cheers smally
