Hi Trout, yes they did but with having low profile tyres on there was too much gap under the inner arch so I’m either going to put another set of tyres on or consider putting 19-20” Alloys on :D
You need to keep the rolling diameter the same as the standard wheels.

Hi Greg, yes they are proper hid kits which weren’t cheap hence why I took them off my old car ;)
Still not legal though - even if they are "proper" as you describe them

Thanks Gloucester
I'm either going to buy new tyres to fit my old wheels or go for 19-20" alloys depending on price and style :)

So you've replaced the entire headlight unit? Do they have self levelling and cleaning?

Hi Mick, are these meant to come on as you open the door with the courtesy lights, then go off or do you have them wired via the cigarette socket so they are on constantly when the ignition is on?
