They are still available from Citroen (Bollingmores) - I was quoted £93.95 EACH ! Unity said they could get the same thing next day for around £50 each. Haven't tried gsf - I ended up buying a pair of something similar from Halfords for £26 the pair and modifying the housings to fit - it's not a nice mod though - it means drilling the foglight surrounds for a 4 bolt fixing and fitting hank bushes into the plastic in order to get some kind of height adjustment - unless anyone has a better suggestion which is quite likely

Unity Motors - I think they only have a few branches around here in the south - you might get a similar price from gsf - and you'll get 10% off through BXclub (thanks guys) - print out your 2010 membership card from

With the Halfords lights I drilled holes in the corners of the black surrounds and similar holes in the plastic pods on the BX. I squeezed hank bushes into the plastic and gave them extra strength with epoxy. I haven't set up the beams yet - I figure if it's difficult I'll put a spacer under the original holes to act as a fulchrum so they can 'rock' up and down a bit but tighten all the bolts in hopefully an ideal place. I used hank bushes rather than nuts because I figure it's difficult to stop them turning when tightening the screws at the front - not nice but hopefully it'll work.

No probs
I omitted to say that I glued the lens / reflector assembly to the black surrounds using silicone rubber, and I ditched the plastic backs as well - sealed the bulb area with non-corrosive silicone rubber making it hard to replace but hopefully no longer subject to rusting.
