hello mate, this what you just called me about? Sorry was building some furniture

Your HIDs will fit straight in the projectors but they will probably have H7s for the high beam as well instead of H1s

bulbs won't be included, you not got your old ones from before you put the HIDs in?

Connections are the same, just make sure you flick them to RHD before you fit them

If you get stuck I'm sure you can pop round here and we'll sort it

Those are the exact lights I fitted to mine last week, I had to return the first set because they were damaged inside :rolleyes:

As Wazzer has already said you'll need an extra pair of H7 bulbs to fit the main beam, don't bother with HID's for main beam you'd be better off sticking with decent halogen bulbs.

As for sidelights you need 501 LEDs :wink:

Yup, ordered from that very site! Customer service from them was flawless, I rang them at 5pm on Friday to say that the ones they had sent were damaged internally upon arrival. By lunch time on Monday there was a courier knocking on the door to deliver a replacement set and to collect the damaged ones :cool:
