I personally dont think they look that bad and prefer that arrangment of DRL LEDs to the OEM loop style!  :rolleyes:

I agree mate, they do look ok and better than the OEM versions - however! I think fitting non-OEM DRL's is nothing short of sticking some fairy lights on your car like all the Citreon Saxo race cars that hang around at the local McDonalds  :angry:

Good find Kenny,

I think they are stunning.  :tongue:

I'm not a fan of the OEM arrangement with the DRL's and (taking a bold pill) I reckon they look more OEM than the OEM ones.

I'd quite happily fit these but I'm not after new lights.

They look very good and the messy wiring should be no great problem as it cannot be seen, could be sorted by Snoops (For a fee, ocourse. Oh, I am his agent!) and not have an impact on the performance.
However, I am told that they are only available for LHD cars. Maybe I am wrong.  :undecided:

Headlights can be adjusted manually Asker so not a problem in that respect. Also, they are for sale from a UK supplier and quotes they are for RHD so must already be adjusted, but that doesnt stop you tweaking them too. At £300 i think they are not that bad. Could be tempted to try them out  :undecided:

I don't like them. Purely because the mixture of round and square lights just don't look right to me. Added to that you have those silly fang shaped fog lights underneath which just makes the front end look like a dogs dinner aesthetically.
Maybe I just woke up in a bad mood today? Anyone want a fight?  :laugh:
