pretty gutted  :cry: but am sure they will replace them!
By the way they where packed there is no way they got damaged in transit, id say they where like that before they left the factory  :rolleyes:

What do you guys think??

I bought the exact same set and they were damaged inside, again no-way that they could have been damaged in transit so must have been manufacturing fault.

Luckily I bought mine from a Porsche performance specialist in the UK, so I had a new set delivered and the old set collected the following working day. Definitely worth complaining :wink:

I bought some black ones that came with the angel eyes in, they are FK jobs.

Mine got sent from Germany, opened them up, happy as larry and they were silver!

Had to send them back, over a week, wait to resend, arrived another week later and finally after about a month, i had the lights i bought.

German efficiency?   :undecided:  :grin:

Unless these are self levelling?

You can run projectors with normal bulbs as I did in my old car, so legal. Not as nice mind  :rolleyes:
