It never is when it comes to bulbs...Though the dipped and main are easy to change this time around. Well...Apart from the metal going over the top of the main beam access.

Lets see some pictures of the new car then!

Nothing in daylight yet apart from the ones i put in the other post before collection. I only got my hands on it yesterday there was a cock up with the paperwork.. will take some over the weekend..

Its a real stepchange from the facelift and i was already happy with that..LOVE IT !!

I do think the 5000k HID’s from HID’s direct (your original ones) are just a shade too white and dont fully match the DRL. I might invest in a different set. I notice you got some from another supplier later. How was the colour match ?

[marko301]

Yeah they're a 5000k set from London Colour on ebay. I'm quite happy with the colour once they're warmed up. Here is the link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CNLIGHT-Af...72.m2749.l2649

Ok..so just in case anyone else wants to change the fog light bulbs.. IGNORE THE MANUAL.. you will break your foglamp surround. Thankfully I foumd the easy way before i broke it.

Lie on the ground an reach up underneath the front bumper. The bulb is accessable that way. No tools needed and no risk of damage. Bulb type is H8 not H10 which was on the facelift

That’s a beauty.

[Defie]

Thanks Witty.. absolutley delighted with it

[marko301]

Looking good!

I've just washed mine but got onto it late and after rinsing, the water started to freeze as I dried it so gave up. It's nice and clean though. Some t!t scuffed the corner of my back bumper last Wednesday night while it was parked outside my son's so it goes in tomorrow to get sorted.

[Defie]

Absolure bummer

First scuff is inevitable but annoying just the same. Particularly so early on

Led in the dipped beam? I wan't some. The ones in my main beam showed a bulb out error when I tried them in my dipped beam.

How is the beam pattern? Have you got any photos of them working with and without mainbeam?
