or retro-fit some xenon headlights as found on the R32

yea, you dont need the ultra slim ones as the stock size ones arnt stupidly big and sit nicley in the engine bay. Legal wise there not strictly legal unless you buy Projector style front lamps. But you wont ever get pulled tbh for having them. I get a fiar few people flash me thinking ive got main beam on but you just put your full beam on back  :wink:   A few of my mates have them on there cars and theyve all passed MOT no probs and never had trouble with the police.

Have they passed their MOT cos they knew the place? Just worried thats all of the old bill
If you cant find it......Grind it

No, but the beam pattern is better with projectors.
