Thanks Andy and yeap that was my Eddy on Nick's FB page.  

Take it you've ordered some xenon's  

They're went on the car along with the other bits during the week. Pics later on.  They're dazzling EVERYONE as they need levelling. Oops!

Are you going to fit auto levellers? As your on air do I imagine you'll always have to be the same height while driving or your Xenons will either be too high or too low?

[George10]

I was going to but you don't need them so not gonna bother dude. I'm getting them all adjusted this week so I'll see how they sit then. You going down the auto levelling route?

Also you coming to UD?

[MC71]

Might get the Auto Levelling stuff doing at some point, not too fussed at the mo though.

Not coming to UD, not around that weekend.

Update........ as promised.  

Xenons....

While at AKS last week, and as the front bumper was off anyway, Alex fitted some Xenons to the car for me. I still need them wiring up for their Bi-Xenon function so there'll be another call to Ed soon. I still need to get my local MOT centre to level the Xenons for me but that's not being done until next week but as anyone knows who's gone from standard lights to Xenons the difference is, quiet literally, night and day (see what I did there).

Before they were fitted.....







Anywho, they need a wee polish but they still look a lot better than my old standard clusters.

Old....



New....






Standard clusters....






The Xenons fitted.....





Added some new sidelight bulbs (below) which aren't the best so any recommendations for some SUPER bright white ones would be much appreciated.



As always, thanks to Alex at AKS!

Hope you likes!

[George10]

So much better 

[JoeDarKa]

I had them mtec sidelights and they were awful!!! Went back to some bogo leds in the end.

Your recent mods have been awesome..... How much did you tell your Mrs its cost? £60?! 

[MC71]

So much better 

Completely agree.

My good lady wife thinks they look like bug eyes. After spending a fair few quid last week on power, handling, lights etc and getting my car just as I want her all my wife said was "I hope after all that money they've got rid of that silly dumpy valve noise it makes!, that very embarrassing". Lord help me!!

She knows, mostly!    I'm treating her to some bits she wants so all's good. 

Oh and yes I'll look into the OEM ones.
