850 2.5 20v 93 converting to 94 headlamps whats needed

Post by charlyW »

I what to convert my phase one 93 to halo lamps from the 94 on models. I know I need the trims under the headlamps as they're wider than mine along with the smaller indicators, will I need a Phase 2 bonnet or will my existing bonnet fit ? What else will I need to complete the conversion

Hi, It's just the headlamps, smaller indicators & headlight trim strips you need. No need to change bonnet, everything will just bolt straight in. There is a small problem with the lamp wash/wipe though which can be easily overcome by slightly enlarging the hole in the front of the trim strip so it slides over the wiper shaft.

You will however need to change the plugs on the wiring loom as the later twin headlamp units use a multiple connector rather than a standard H4 headlamp socket.
