S-Type Rs had HIDs as standard, so that might be one route if you wanted those. When I had a 2004 S-Type, I found the headlights pretty good, having upgraded the bulbs to one of the Osram/Philips Extreme Vision/ Nightbreaker +100% style sets. Certainly much better than the two Audis and VW Golf I'd had before, also fitted with brighter bulbs, but which were like candles by comparison. Might be the cheapest route to a bit more light on the road, while still passing an MOT.
