Kind of styling.. kind of technical?

Has anyone done a headlight swap/transplant before? I if so, what has been done?

I know about spraying existing reflectors / lenses or retro-fitting angel eyes / halo rings... but I'm on about swapping the whole light unit for something else.

I looked at a MK5 vauxhaul astra behind me the other day & thought, they look about the right shape.. need to trim into the wing & bumper a bit but... hhhmmmmmmmm

my new bumper will go to a point by the grille to match those lights..

You've got no chance fitting those.

Could try a set of morrets from a nova, Frog or mk3 fezzy? Same kinda shape so less arsing around trimming body work

Unfortunately I think it has the potential to look rather chavvy

I just wouldnt changing lamps for ones from another car is really quite MAXPower imo
