03 Discovery headlights on Series I discovery?
Is this possible? I've seen some Series II disco's with the headlamp conversion... is it possible to fit them to the series I disco's?

It can be done and requires some metal cutting.
You might want to check in with the group from Disco Web, I have seen it mentioned there.

Hi there, if you check out parts by brand on UK ebay there is a company advertising front end conversions where they convert headlights, grille and bumper, they also do rear bumper coversions. They show pictures of all the conversions. Although a UK company is I presume of no use to you it's worth checking out site to see whats possible if you have the money.

To save you time I've found the site. Checkout the pics on WWW.GDAUTOCOSMETICS.CO.UK

Are the newer style light any better than the original Disco II lights? Do they project more light or a better beam pattern?

Why not just invest in a set of good driving lights. For the money involved in a conversion as described, you could get a couple of Hella Predators which give out more light than anything else I know....they are awesome.

Not on the Disco, but on the prior deceased vehicle, I swapped out the H4 headlights for JDM H3 Projectors and they made a most apparent improvement. Since I had to also drop in a new wire harness, I suggest that a new wire harness with direct battery connections would make a great improvement with OEM H4s or newer 80/110 or higher power output bulbs on the Disco. If I can find the same wire harness, I will attempt it and bring news after the spring thaw.

Unfortunately, I have no garage and must do it on the street.
