I did it in the pouring rain as the postman had delivered the bulbs whilst at work and I'm impatient!

These were the ones I got;

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:

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?

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!

You got a picture of the side of the car now you have the spacers on? Looking good so far!

Ask and you shall receive. It's a bit dark now but if you compare these two against my previous ones on here you get the idea.

Looks mega with the spacers on! May well have to do that too. Any issues with requiring longer wheel bolts?

Not that I know of, so long as you get a decent quality of spacer the extra length bolts should be fine also

15mm Hubcentric ones from Royal Wax.

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