You fitting them yourself?
Do you have the self levellers? When I took mine in for an MOT they just adjusted the height for me, never used levellers on mine, cost too much.

The levellers and washers will be fitted in due course as funds allow :) If I do something, I do it properly - besides, Ive got till the end of the year to get it done!

And yes will be fitting them myself - im a qual mechanic ;)

Plus - ive just checked out this December 2011 Xenon thing, and its not official as yet. The official line is 'we need to look more into how to incorporate this into the test'. There is, as such, no official statement to say that they will fail - just that they are improving the test to help stop people putting HIDs into incompatible headlights. Some cars with factory HIDs dont have washers, and some even dont have auto levelling - instead they have incabin levelling on the dial.

Things didnt go quite to plan with the Xenons :( Fitted them, and did all the wiring, then realised that as the car hadnt been programmed, when the engine is running, the bulbs were registering as halogen instead of xenon and therefore flickering due to the wonderful CANBUS bulb monitoring system

So...had to take the headlights off again and put them back in the boxes till Tuesday when theyll get coded and refitted.

I guess not a wasted day in all, as I got the wiring all done to OEM standard, but its rather frustrating!
