Headlights a la Citroen SM/DS

I was watching some videos on Jay Leno's site and this one reminded me of my Dad's old DS and Citroen's headlights that turned with the steering to point round the corner.

Has anyone done anything similar on a seven style car?
Would need to be driven from steering rack or could you have an additional light on the cycle wing. The SM/DS design left one light pointing straight ahead and another turned as in the video. Don't much fancy the hyraulic solution though!

Any thoughts?

Oh and check out Jay's rather nice collecton of cars and some great videos.

The 7 is a simple car.
Best to keep it that way!
The turning headlight is just something more to go wrong.

Headlight on cycle wing...

1) Will increase unsprung mass

2) Will blow bulbs in 5 seconds due to bumping/vibrations.

3) You will have enough problems without trying to make things difficult for yourself.
