Bear in mind that if you go down the HID route, then you will have illegal lights. I tried some in my T5 and they do work but they never match the reflector spare of the housing quite right causing a lot of scatter. The sysmptom of this is however they are adjusted people keep flashing you as they are being dazzled.

Excellent post and links alunj

I had a single HID conversion fitted to the Harley for a while last year

I got it from these guys

It all went in OK, and looked very blue and very bright - but no matter how much fiddling I did, I couldn't get it to throw light down the road like the 55w H4 Halogen which is fitted as standard.

I retrofitted(!) the original and the "upgrade" is now languishing in the garage.

Cheers

apart from making silly remarks, such as clean your windscreen, it would seem the best answer is as already said, fit some extra driving lights.spotlights.I am surprised though about your poor headlamps, suggest that you take one out and take it to your local accessory shop, a good one not halfords, and see if they can match it in size and fittings for a modern one.BMW could well be the answer.In fact why not be cheeky and walk into a BMW garage spares and ask them if they can match it.but dont say what it comes off.
do let us all know how you get on as it is a puzzle.
