Not had a chance to check it totally.....with it being weekend only drive till mid pm and then hit the beer!!!! :yum: :yum:
now bloody clocks have moved will have to wait even longer....may try them out tomorrow night :lol: :lol:

Surely it should slant from the left side as if it slanted from right it would blind other drivers and we don't do that do we!!!!!
That is looking from inside the car

so no xenon for me because I always jet wash the engine. this will destroy the ballasts in a second.
I found some 180W pro bulbs for competition use only. maybe it will melt my lights :-D ..... they are trash anyway....so no problem

to keep it clean. dust is the engine worst enemy .

I always used engine jet wash with all the cars. never ever had a minimal problem with any sensor or electrical part. anyway I protect the fuse box, the alternator, the steering electric motor and the coils. I also washed a lot of rally cars engines after gravel stages.

If a car has the ECU under the bonnet like Renault, FN2, etc a jet wash is forbidden :smile:

They drop off every so often mate.

TBH after watching Walshy sorting my HID's it is easy enough..... just as long as you can get behind the washer bottle....the rest seems straight forward and its down to you where you feel you want to locate the ballasts.

Yay pics working again :smile: , going to have a go of fitting mine today just want to make sure that the thin brown tube on the HID bulb is facing up and slightly towards the left i.e. 10 o'clock position if your facing forward?
