I should add that you shouldn't fit LED headlight bulbs without having self-levelling suspension or a headlight wash/wipe system!

I took the time to tack a dust sheet to my gates and adjust the woefully ill-adjusted lamps (the dipped-beam cut-off should fall 3" below the centreline of the lamps at a distance of 25', etc).

Here we see the lights, dipped beam and main beam (engine off):

Nice job....

You can go in front! :D

If budgets are limited, I can recommend the Wipac halogen conversion kit at about half the price. I have no problem with night driving. Got my eyes closed most of the time, anyway! ;)

Really nice looking kit, though Si. Good find!

I will confirm that the Wipac halogen conversion headlights work quite well.

Far better than the 45 year old glass enclosures for those anemic fireflies that came with the car.

No need to canabalize a Citroen DS 21 for its oleo-pneumatic suspension components.
