Not sure if the older TD5 lights dont just fit straight in, Im sure there s bound to be someone along soon whos already done it.

the later lights with the twin head lamp blubs and the indicetors in one are not easy to do to a early td5
but from what ive heard the tdi300 and the early td5 use the same headlamps
so what will be involved in fitting them will be triming of the front wings
some triming and drilling of the front pannel behind the head lamps
maybe even abit of triming of the grill
som one has done it in the march lro  put them in a disco1 v8 looks good

just had a look at a pic of a tdi 300 and the inticators are smaller on the tdi300 than on the td5 so the wings will deffo need cutting back other than that then it will be exactly the same as fitting them to a early td5

The early TD5 are a straight swap and take about 60 seconds to swap each light.....
