I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

you have to drill a hole in the back plate of the headlight, then fitting is straight forward after that

I got Xenon blue tinted main bulbs (seller said they were legal - but that was ebay!)

and led side lights - nice and bright they are too.

don't think I'm breaking any laws and quick enough to change come MOT time if I am.

they are stupidly easy to fit, pretty much plug and play apart from drilling a hole in the cover. i do kinda regret getting them if im honest tho...

do you have them fitted in projector headlights?

They look 100 times better when fitted in them
