Yes they'll fit but you'll need to alter the loom slightly. You'd be better with a small section of loom off a breaker to replace the headlight plug on yours. :y

Do they include the bulbs and ballast boxes ?  If not, you're looking at around £25 each for the bulbs and £30 each for ballast boxes from a breakers.

Hi
If its a very late 99 it could be a facelift, in which case the lights will not fit a mini-facelift without some modification.

Elite now gone.  Bought an X-Type 4x4.  If there had been an Omega 4x4 I would have bought that instead.  We really liked the Omega, but I wanted 4x4.

If its not from a facelift then yes...as said make sure you get the whole lot including the plugs/loom on the back of the lights as the ballast pack plugs not there on yours and the adjustment power plugs different...

The wiring is very easy to sort, just a matter of running the earth and live from your existing loom to power the ballast packs etc as well...

Just to add, make sure you're pinkies are well away from anything associated with the headlamps when you have them switched on.

The 100V or so that the lamp needs for normal running has a moderate bite if you ain't used to be shocked, so you sure as s**t won't want to experience the 20KV+ strike voltage  ;)
