There definitely next on the to do list. Did you order them from that link on ebay? Do they come with bulbs?

i think to get the xenon effect your going to need a h.i.d kit, with resistors, around 60-100 on ebay but well worth it

....They DON'T light up the road - Proper DRL's are passive signal lights and NOT lights you put on at night. In fact it's illegal in Europe to run proper DRL's at night and they also must be wired to come on automatically with ignition. This is expected to become law on all new cars in the UK soon. The new top of the range Alfa's have the same Hella LED DRL's as mine.

Ermmm,
I think he meant what do the headlights (projector) light the road like in comparison to the OEM lights? - No mention of DRLs!!

Also, Id like to know the answer to this, also some more info on what wiring needs to be done?

Personally, I like the angel eyes and would like to know more about wiring em up!

Yep I meant the lights themselves, not too bothered about the side lights  :grin: :grin: sorry DrL's...  :evil: any excuse to post a pic of that fine motor.... I have seen the genuine hella projector lights that look dead ringers for the OEM Xenons, but seem right pricey at £400 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=350194770686

These seem a reasonable alternative - if they actually light up the road???

....

Sorry! A misunderstanding - I thought that the discussion meandered into Hurdy's headlights which he got for their integrated LED's (I assume they qualify as DRL's).

Anyroadup, I AM a picture whore :evil:
