Default Do you know where to get these headlights?

I just bought a 99 Discovery last night after wanting one for awhile. I'm now in the process of making her stand out since the guy I bought it from kept it in good condition. While looking at some exterior mods to make the truck stand out, I came across this video:

Tonka - monster BMW Discovery pt1 - YouTube

I've been unable to find another picture, let alone a vendor, that has these headlights on a Discovery. Any leads or thoughts?

I think this is the closest you will get.

That video is of a LHD version so he is not in the US and aftermarket accessories are probably more accessible.
Look at his taillights too, not OEM.

They look like really dirty late D2 lights, or defender lights, but not exactly. I recently saw a D1 with late D2 headlights, but the guy hasn't told me how he did it.

I was going to say, I have seen them but only in the UK. Someone had posted an ebay listing for them at one time. Looked like it was a speciality shop making them.

Those RDX surrounds are what I'm looking for. Is there a work around to them only shipping in the UK? I may have to give my cousin in Manchester a call...

Send them a e-mail, I bet they will ship to the US however keep in mind that you will pay 3/4 more than the price in GBP because the USD is in the tank and shipping is going to be expensive too.
I just ordered parts from the UK and just so you have a reference the 34GBP price was $56USD and shipping was another $42USD and it took 2 weeks to get here.

I have a scored swivel on the drivers side and water gets in when I wade.
So this will seal it.
I have yet to install it but I have it.
I will be working on the truck in a couple of weeks and I will put them on then.
A hell of alot cheaper than a new swivel and setting the preload and new seals and what not.
