There are a couple of things I'm wondering:
* what gauge line did you use? I remember reading something about the stock wiring being a real bottleneck -- especially going to 100/80w or 130/90w.
* why a single ground point for the headlights (why a ground line going from the passenger side all the way across to the driver's side)?

BTW -- in the States, these guys have Cibie E-codes in stock: http://www.talbotco.com/ -- $49/ea
That's a _great_ price.

Also, if you keep the stock wattages, you won't need to run the relays. To be perfectly honest, stock wattage with an ECE-spec reflector should be more than fine. It's really just the reflector in the sealed-beam units that sucks.
