[300tdi to td5 pre 03 headlight swap]

the 4 eye headlamps required trimming the wings, as the headlamp has a square profile into the wing, unlike 200/300tdi's which are more curved, and some modification the the panel behind the lamps is required, all do able, and not really too hard, just whether or not u want to start cutting up your bodywork. i think paddocks want nearly £200 a lamp for a 4eye disco 2

Hi Ashtray....you seem in the know on headlight upgrades. You said the series II "4 eye" headlights could be fitted to a series I disco, but with a bit of brute force. I understand that the discoI wings need cutting back to square. And I understand that the round bracket behind the light needs to become square. I have the following questions though:

1) Can you tell it's been done? e.g any bad gaps, holes or misalignments.

2) What about the facia under the "4 eye" headlight, does it fit a discoI ok? Any gaps?

3) Instead of squaring up the discoI wings, how about grinding back the inside of the "4 eye" plastic backing? Is there enough plastic to grind out without having to eat into the reflector?

Just asking because once I cut the wings square, there's no going back:)

Any help much appreciated.

PS: By "4 eye" I am referring to the following photo:
