Headlight Question

I remember seeing a tread on this a while ago. From what I remember it was fairly extensive surgery on the D1 to fit D2 headlights.

I've never been a fan of retro fitting parts from one model to another.

It always prompts me to wonder what sort of accident occurred and who the panel beater was that did not know one model from another when they ordered replacement parts.

As an example, it is always a dead give away to see an XY Falcon with XW tail lights fitted. Also when XY tail lights are fitted upside down as they fit both ways.

Thanks guys... must say its looking a little expensive in any case... Just have to keep loving it the way it is

The D2 (black surround) headlights are a simple plug in swap for a D1. Some say they give better light output. ;)
The '03 update D2a twin pocket lights would require major work and probably still look NQR.

Personally I don't like that look of the D2a lights on the D1 ....something doesn't gel between the lights and the body lines.

something's NQR about the front bumper on that pic too ...

..straight D2 might be Ok need to see a pic.

Buy a D2 and then you will never worry about the headlight look again.

You'll have plenty more to worry about, anyone want the 3 Amigos? They are driving me nuts :(.

Straight swap to D2 lights looks fine. I've seen them on a green D1 with a TJM bar. They look good with the bar IMHO.

I wouldn't do it personally as I'm perfectly happy with my D1 lights, particularly with Hella xenon filled +50 globes and a traxide kit.
