Hi. Apologies if this is obvious but presume that the only difference between the above and those on the link are that these are Hella brand?

Seen a few links to these on the forum but that you just have to request RHD. Worth the £60-£70 difference?

Be careful those are likely to be for left hand drive cars.

Hi. It says levelling motors included so from my searches of this site, just a question of removing bumper and popping on. Simples! Or in my case take to The Phirm, get Revo Stage 1, check DV and ask nicely to remove bumper and put them on!

I've got a set of depo projectors with black innards. I modified them to accept H7 HIDs and large SMD sidelight bulbs. they came with motors fitted however they are manual adjustment, not automatic.

I also have no bulb warning lights with the parts I've used.
2005 VW Bora TDI 130 Highline auto. Current mods: 5.5lt washer bottle & black and aluminium A/C knobs & 312mm front brakes and 256mm vented rear brakes.
Next: turborevs SMIC, 20vt pancake pipe and silicone connectors.

Are they all black though? As in the only chrome part is the two chrome rings?

I've never seen a set before. I know wooosh has a genuine set on his car which he modified himself

That's the only chrome part, they look genuine but half the price.
