Yeah, they are the ones from ebay.

The guy selling them (Jeremy Lear of OEM parts/Eastcoast racing) had four sets of them, that was one of his sets.

Don't forget you will need to transfer over the alignment motor from your existing lights - you don't want to get them fitted without and then have to do it all again!!

All fiited last night (including alignment motor!) - photo awaiting approval on my gallery.

They definitely need adjusting as the pattern is a bit all over the place, but well happy with the look of them.

Xenon upgrade next, with the help of this man ^^^^^ (Ballast info!) ;D

Thanks mate, I'm well chuffed with them.

Topnight I'm going to changing the indicator bulbs for the silver vision ones (to get rid of the amber from the cluster) and sort the beam pattern out.

Looks like you put a pair of tights over the front, is that what you did,


Only joshing

Look good, only trouble is the xenon is f ing hard and to be legal your gonna need the headight washers.

nice though, will you have to take all this off as i thought your car was a lease car??

Yeah it is a lease car, but it may end up going to the missus, or one of my friends, which wil save me taking it all of again.

Alternatively, i'll just whip em off again - the bumper is easier to remove than you might think!

PS - I did think about using tights, but decided against it!
