Myself and Marco have both fitted brand new headlights.
Mine are lucas one's whereas Marco's were cibie ones.

We both had problems with regards to the wiring as mine the drivers side inner spot light (when you put main beam on) would not work and marco's when he did the same all of the lights turned out and the passenger inner spot would work but nothing else.

To solve both of our problems all i did was to take the glass and inner spot light reflector out and swap the wiring loom over from the old unit.
You only need to do this on the drivers side light though.

Hope this helps

Gavin
