C&U regulations for HIDs are very strict Wilson. Nice to drive behind I suspect, but an absolute pain from an oncoming vehicle (unless I'm up in the Land Rover or taller vehicle). No intention of retro-fitting them to any of my motors.
I haven't looked to see what there is for LEDs and am happy enough with halogen lamps (the 90 still has sealed beams).

The Headlamps on AR Plus 4 looks fantastic.
Can you change standard Lucas on a 4/4 to LED type?
Michael Michael As I understand it the Daylight Running Lights are LEDs but the headlights are standard halogen bulbs. Use the link provided by John V6 for these , they are quite cheap (GBP50) , but if you want true LED headlights then be prepared for a case of acute financial shock (a feeling of emptiness in the wallet and bank account) as they are as much as GBP500 each.

It seems that MMC has new "Official" LED Lights. At RFTH both Aeroman's Plus 8 and a red Plus 8 had new, Morgan branded headlights. Not a very good photo of Aeroman's car.  The dip beam is in the upper part of the light, the main beam below (I think, might be the other way...!) and the sidelight is in the bar across the unit. There are Morgan Wings and an E1 mark on the bottom of the glass. I think they are the best looking replacement for the old 7" traditional lights yet. I wonder how much MMC will ask.... Peter

They look VERY similar to the Valeo Cibie LED Oscar lens units..

Got those on my Plus 8 too (apologies can't post photos since the apparent demise of Photobucket!) the late night driving lighting has been transformed!

Aeroman.
Now we are getting somewhere.
Where did you buy?
Was it easy to change the lamps?
What specifik model did you buy?
Regards for a sunny sunday in Denmark.

I recently had my car fitted with LED lights all round at the Factory and they also replaced my Cibie Oscars with these LED versions from Demon Tweeks. I purchased the Oscars myself and gave them to MMC to fit, as apparently it did involve some circuitry to make then work in conjunction with the headlight LED's. If you PM me your email address I will send photos, as I lazily have not replaced Photobucket with another way of posting photos on sites.  We awoke to sunshine in Berkshire, but it has now completely clouded over...

Many thanks Bob and James, flying again tonight on a business trip so don't see me doing it before I go. Don't use the Net on the plane, as it is quite nice to have a bit of a respite and try and catch some shut-eye. Maybe next weekend when I get back...
