I have done a few for Swedish VTR owners, but I doubt it's cost effective for you in UK... And besides, it's not that complicated... It's very possible to DIY it without much knowledge really...

Get a spare headlight in decent nick, and purchase this... http://www.theretrofitsource.com/comple ... light.html

Stick the headlight in the oven at 250 C (preheat) for 3-4 minutes, to make the adhesive pliable, and separate the two halves... Then bolt the projector to the stock reflector through the stock bulb hole, making it adjustable like stock, and hide the ugliness with a shroud, and/or halo if you like... Heat things up again, and put it back together...

The only tricky parts are routing wires nicely, and finding a suitable place for the ballast... All in all, it's beginner level DIY...
