thats fine means and ways round that!!

Worth remembering that you could still fail a roadside check. :smiley:

The light clusters have a projector unit, so if he fits them there, he should be fine, however, he will still be one of those inconsiderate 'I want brighter headlights that make your retinas hurt and iris shut down causing a danger to other people around as you can't see now' drivers.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

When you upgrade to the DEPO headlights you need 4xH7 bulbs (one for the dipped & main beam in each unit), standard headlights have 2xH7 and 2xH1.

The block that your holding in the last picture is for your main beam bulb.

There should be a yellow(?) wire with a connector floating around somewhere in the unit, this is for the fog light wire to connect to. The black wire is already connected to the fog lighter holder.

Hope that makes sense.

Infact I've taken another look at your pic, the yellow wire is connected to a H1 bulb in the main beam unit, unplug this and connect it to the fog light. Find another H7 bulb to put in our main beam unit and plug that connector block into it = job done :wink:

A picture says a thousand words:

Not sure, I would have thought so :undecided:

Did your standard headlights have fogs built into them? Another way to check to to see if your switch pulls out once or twice when the lights are on, once is rear fogs, twice is front :wink:
