I'm thinking of putting phase 3 headlights in my phase 2. After looking at a few threads I've gathered that the headlight adjuster motors are different. Does this mean I have to take the adjuster off my ph2 light and put them onto the ph3 ones? If so how hard is this..
Also due to the phase 3 lights using H7 bulbs will the full beam work simultaneously with the dipped beam? or will I need a phase 3 stalk as someone has briefly touched upon this on a different forum but not gave much info.

I think if you use your current stalk it will just put full beam on but if you get a ph3 stalk when you put full beam on dipped beam stays on too someone will correct me if I'm wrong
The adjusters just twist out

The adjusters are simple enough to swap over from memory they twist off the headlight and then pop out of the reflector - be careful though I snapped on of mine pulling it out
If you want the main and dipped on at the same time you'll need a twin optic stalk some ph2s came with them probably on the higher specced stuff gtis and the like

Ah sweet, how big of a job is it to change stalks? I'll try with current stalk first if this fails chances are ill get a phase 3 twin optic stalk as I want both dipped and full beam to work simultaneously

If your stalk is twin optic then it will bring both lights on on your ph2 lights aswell.
Changing the stalk is easy, 3 T20 torx screws to take off the steering column surround , unplug the stalk, and there are 2 torx screws holding the stalk in (either t10 or t15 not sure which)

Lights are now installed still using my old stalk until i find a twin optic one cheap enough.. Just wondering do phase 3 306's have the horn on the stalk like phase 2's?
