Loz. I did it. I actually managed to change the sidelights lol. The drivers side outer one, was the biggest pain in the arse.

15 minutes later and a scraped thumb and they are all done. My headlight bulbs arrived today so gonna visit your guide

Have you examples of those fog lights?
Think i know what you mean about the yellow, i don't really like those but defo seen alot of them.

Good work can't wait to see pics

OK here are the paintshops (Can't use photoshop so paint had to do!) of the fog lights, let me know what you think guys :

Standard :

Smoked :

Yellow :

Hmm, now i see why you're stuck between the two. I really don't know...both look good.

 

[VRSLOZ]

Yeah I didn't expect the yellow to look any good, so confused lol

Smoked

I'm not happy with the dipped headlights i bought gonna get new ones. The beam is pants, its shorter than the original ones. Boohoo. Guess they were £12 after all.

 

[VRSLOZ]

Really? I was sure they were the ones well I'll have to try and find out again

 

[char_baby]

yeah they just dont seem very bright, as in the metres in front of the car. I thought the original bulbs were pretty poor but these are pants. Must be about 2-3 metres infront and thats all.

I'm now looking at the super brillance ones from halfrauds lol.
Does yours not say what they around around the metal bit near the pin on the bulb?
Cause the originals said they were phillips which were in the car at first.

You know what I've just realised by looking at them picks the cars have cheeky smiles. And the smoked yellow looks like crap

 

[VRSLOZ]

I'll have a look when I get a chance. The Osrams I got were pretty awesome

IMO, the silver indicator bulbs are a waste of time if your going to do the fogs yellow
you wanted rid of that 'fried egg look' you would be kinda bringing it back
i think they look spot on smoked if anything

Are you using the Lamin-X system?

 

[VRSLOZ]

Yes mate will be using it, seems to be quite popular

 

[VRSLOZ]

Going to try some new bulbs in them before I smoked the lens, will post up details when I have changed them (next month)

Quite fancied doing the headlights with this, but need to change the bulbs for something a little brighter.
