Has anyone fitted the above to their Stylus ? Every time i see a parked Mini I look at that big chrome oval and think they would look right on a Stylus.
My Porsche / beetle units are looking shabby, the internal seal are perished and hanging down, the empty sidelight socket has been eating away at me for 3 years - now could be the time to make the change.
Only concern is , will the mini ones fit ?

I used the H4 Headlight purchased from a 911 breakers yard. They come with either chrome or painted . They might fit as a direct replacement otherwise you will need to fabricate clips etc. to attach them. There is a post re the mini headlights saying they are not square on so fitting could be not that straightforward.

I remember a blue Stylus at our Llandow trackday having VW Lupo , obviously they didn't just drop straight in , he'd obviously done a little bonding work but they looked brilliant and very modern.

Thanks Rob, that'll be me with the Lupo lights.
Having had other kit cars and TVRs with Mini headlights modern was the only option for the stylus:

Jeremy P was talking about the original spec Stylus headlights today while we were all at Donnington , so I've posted him with this page of your lights , as I did bring the subject up with him today.
