I thought the late D2s came with HIDs?
I myself like 'lights' 
especially xenons, however will only fit HID's if I can get the right pattern and not blind people.
When I fitted my facelift D2 lights, I took them all apart and fitted projector lenses into them so I can then upgrade to HID and still get the right pattern. Also fidded some DRL's and also smd LED clusters for the indicators and sidelights
Here is a pic which sort of shows the projectors fitted...
However these lights seem to fill up with water the instant it rains (and its not due to lack of re-sealing them, as I have gone through god knows how much Tiger seal!!), so am looking at some other types of headlights, like the universal projector type...
and and then just welding up the front end with a wod of metal and then fitting the headlights into the metal....function over beauty and all that, but hopefully will still look ok once I am finished. Just waiting for some responses to come back from contacts in Germany and USA to make sure I can change the shutters to have them RHD and not LHD.

Looks like a good mod stu
As long as it is done "proper" it will look good.

Cheers mate - always a 'proper' job with me
Plus 4 MOT's and no issue with the lights - shame about the rest of the Disco although my last MOT was the first time it sailed through - not even an advisory, so at least I am heading the right direction 
Will do a write up once I know how/what I am doing when I change the front end again with a new headlight setup.

Those look similar size and shape to 200 lights so could modify some 200 light trims??

I was thinking they look like 300 ones, 200s are more square arent they?

fitted halfrauds +120's to my 200tdi & X-T, brilliant (no pun intended) - would never use standard 55w again.
Cheaper ones here:

am I correct that thinking as long as they are h7 bulbs they will fit a disco 1?
Would be good to see a photo with just one side having +120s to directly compare
