Everyone likes a tight fit, just give it a shove. They do fit, only took me about 5 mins in total.

let me know your thoughts on these - sat on the fence at the minute so any feedback would be appreciated

I have a spare set of these if anyone is interested. Sealed and never opened.

They're not the sidelights mentioned though, or at least the pic isn't of them.

Oops, brain missed the LED part, so they are the wrong ones. Picture is correct.

I think theyre quite good, definatly an improvemnt over standard, they need a white headlight to look better though (next on the list) maybe not worth the steep price but i like them.

I love mine and as said above. You have to, as Elton John says, slide it around a bit then ram it home (the pillow is optional)

 

[itsmefishy]

the pillow just about made the experience worthwhile!

I think that is the correct smiley















Or is it this

I have 6000k anti-glare HID from HIDS4U.

Anti-Glare is the reason they only use 1/2 the lense

Alas the Leon is about to move from my grasp. I loved every minute of this baby and after 115,000 miles its still on top fine.

If anyone wants my PIAA LED you can have them! I brought them for £15,000 in 2007 (when we still had a strong economy) and they have been on for about 3 years but are still working fine and whilst they may blow up in your face at any minute why not give em a go! They are a simple straight swap with the original bulbs. I'm not after money just a self addressed envelope.

Just awaiting for a link in the Free Stuff to be approved.
