Default HEAD LIGHT UPGRADE

I'm considering an upgrade of my Daimler (VDP)1996 (Century) V12. Any suggestions out there? I saw an upgrade to the XK8 1997-2003, (whichI liked)or the Cibie CSR's.... I have to have LHD as I'm located in Japan. Any comments/information is appreciated.

Going to the XJ8 lamps seems popular.

Did you ever find a Source for Cibie CSR?
I've been looking for New Old Stock Valeo (Cibie) Part # 082349 Yellow High Beams.

The upgrade requires the plastic lamp holder assembly behind the 2 lenses for whatever reason I didn't pay much attention at the time

don't lose track of the lense rotation orientation and position number

the valeo on the glass marking goes up

From the salvage yard as they are almost in perfect shape compared to the aged X300s

I did the change to XJ8 lamps and, as far as I remember, I only had to some modifications on the wiring/connectors.
I also changed the rear lamps to the XJ8.
