Not sure on the lights, If you have tires of the 31" variety or larger don't waste the money on the 35, upgrade with a ford 8.8, I LOVE mine and it's WAY beefier. For 200 quid you can't beat it!!!

if you speak to mik at rednex he will sort ya diff for ya. top man. the only trouble i see with imported head lights is that they might have a left hand drive pattern so you might have to get some of those little sticker things to convert them to uk spec. but dont quote me on that last bit. maybe one for dr mike.

If they're from the US they probably won't have sidelights in them, the dip pattern won't be as good as ours and if they're plastic, watch out if you use high wattage bulbs.

I would also recommend Mik at Rednexx. He is certainly worth travelling for.
