I got the 2nd last set! ;)

And I thought it safest to send them to my parents as they are always in. Mum had a doctors appointment and they missed the delivered -  :popcornsoda:

Tomorrow now - I hope!

Dont forget to align them to your body work when you fit these.The adjustment is in the big nuts on the mounting clips.When i did mine i just unclipped the grill and the top and sides of the bumper as well as the bottom wheel arch screws. If you have a second pair of hands may be quicker to just completely remove the bumper.  :grouphug:

finally fitted depo xenon look lights with phillips h7 extreme white bulbs .a little bit of misting but outside is -4 degrees and instructions says condensation occurs in a vehicle lamp because the materials inside the lamp absorb moisture from the atmosphere.when the lamp is turned on the temperature of the lamp increases,which generates thermal convection .the warm air encounters the lower temp, that causes misting.therefore the mist is a normal effect when the inner and outer of the car light has different temp.once these balance out the misting will decrease . why did i not do this yesterday lol at least it wasnt snowing i guess ,the COVERS are on back in the garage for winter ,and role on wifes car fiat 500 lol

Got mine done this morning (need to tweak them a good bit to make them sit better)

Looks good though!






Upgrade bulbs on the way too

Re-aligned with bodywork property - actually took longer to do this than it did to fit them yesterday - Lense alignment is being sorted tomorrow

Can well believe that.Took me 1 hour 15 mins to swap my lights out and allign them both on my own.Youl probably fine you just need minimal adjustment if any for the beam to be set up.
Happy with mine although i think they will difinately benefit from a HID kit.
Will buy one in the new year and fit. The same kit a fellow member has fitted to his Octavia for the last 3 years without issue.

Still think they sit to close to the bodywork, may need to look at them over the weekend. I just dropped down the top of the bumper and did it in about 40 minutes. I'm going to be running the osram super brights in the dipped beam & yellow 100W bulbs in the full beam - along with orange sidelights! ;)
