Title: Crystal front end
Post by: Mk2George on 06 February 2009, 21:42
Ok so both Lewy and Darnpistonbroke`s front end are giving me a semi -BUT- I dont want cheap sh!t. Anyone recommend hardcore quality lights? Heard FK are rather good?

Also, the response so far has been `retard` but I kinda like the look of yellow fogs??

I got these off ebay and later realised the headlights are for left hand drive. Still look good but point the wrong way so i have to switch them for MOT time. As Chuff said, careful what you find if it's from the bay.

I think Euro Parts may actually stock them. Could be worth a call if you've got one local to you? :smiley:

I have foreign ones on mine atm... not through choice though!  I blagged it by switching them upside-down, left to right, and then put the bulbs in the normal way up... if that makes any sense!! :grin:  Only thing is, my side lights are at the top..  :rolleyes:

Bought mine from Les Bray of Veedub Machine. Yup, ebayer, but I am happy with the quality of them. Fully e marked too which is the important thing for the MOT. And not too expensive either. And I also have an upgraded wiring loom, and 100watt lamps! :cool:

I got my Lefty lights from this seller. When i mentioned it to him he got a bit shirty and told me to return them for inspection at my expense. I couldn't be arsed with the drama so kept hold of them but it has put me off dealing with this seller again. :smiley:

That's a shame. I actually found him very helpfull. I also bought my centre caps from him, but the part numbers differed between my old, knackered original ones, to his new ones. So we were both on the phone with vernier calipers making measurements. I ended up buying them and they are perfect. Still, some you win, some you lose.

^^^ Tis a shame, i felt a tad cheated tbh as it was obvious i lived in mainland UK so even if he knew what he was selling i just thought i should have been advised as to what i was buying before making the transaction. Fair enough if he's shipping them out to rest of europe. Anyway, like you say some you win, lesson learned, ask more questions before comitting to buy. :smiley:
