Cheers for the link Graham. Only thing that concerns me is the fact that there is no locking wheel nut supplied with them  :undecided:

J

That concerns me also, but im going to get a long locking wheel nut (x2) to solve this.

Picked up the motor after it had the strut mount on the driver side suspension replaced.

Has it made the suspension silent on even bumpy roads?

The few miles I have driven today seems more silent. The brakes seem sharper too either that or my dads 57 plate focus brakes are crap.

Sounds like something I'd do! How have you found them? Are they just as bright as the originals? I only ask as the LEDs can be more difficult to see in daylight, I might get them and do a side by side comparison to see whether there's much difference..just for fun  :grin:

Aside from the H7 Philips Blue Vision - the car's going to be a full LED/ Xenon fest!  :nerd:

Collecting tomorrow.... :laugh:



Ordered, cheers mate :)

Me too! Car isn't even due until March but you've gotta have that instant on/off effect if the rest of them are LEDs!


Right folks I think they are OK in terms of brightness, a little less noticeable though.

Here's a video of them in action (now the blue skies are back) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i40jrE8FNTg

I've ordered another set on ebay, bit more expensive but I think I would prefer a little more brightness:

Yeah they look good, but I think I would also prefer a little more brightness. Let us know how you get on with the newer ones!  :cool:
