yes . . buy some Osram Night Breaker Bulbs. Better lighting, and keeps the P38 looks.

Dont do it!!! The headlights look too big on the L322, on a P38 positively goggle eyed!

If you have an early car with white head lights the swap to black lights looks good imo

do you know you can modify your own headlights ,separate the glass from the headlight reflector with a heat gun,paint it then refit the glass with sealant,cheaper than buying new parts

true, but CAREFULLY does it! take care not to crack the glass or break the plastic rear of the light unit,especially the edges nearest the glas, whichs can crack and fall apart very easily.
