Just got these from the states wondering how easy they are to fit ?
Easy, take the old lights out and go from there. Do a search for Angel Eyes and there is a bit of a guide.
I was looking at these aswell, but didnt know how much it\'d be after tax etc...how much did it work out to total?
Watch out..... it might be a left hand drive beam pattern????
Jono

How long did they take to come?

hi guys I got these a whle ago and did a very ruff fitting guide which is here

Did not take long at all to fit the difficult part was getting them to sit correctly with bonnet and wing and bumper.
I know a few have had problems with MOT but the lights are nice and bright and can easily be adjusted to point in the right direction.
Cheers

getting old lights off a bit awkward as bolts in tight places not easy to reach,best way i found was to take the cowling surround off to get better access.took around an hour to remove both sides.
then big problem the large bracket that the lights sit on has to be removed for the pod to sit in properly and part of it is spot welded to another bit so ended up having to use a grinder to cut it off bloody hard.took 3 hours to get 1 side off having tried hammer and chisels first,sat the pod in ,wired up and just dropped the headlight unit ontop to get an idea of looks - pleased transformed the front.then turned lights on without having yet done the feed to the side lights for the angel eyes happy again.
sure there was no need for the spot welding bit proved a real time consuming job.
eddie if you know an easier way appreciate reply tonight if you come online as side 2 bracket to remove sunday morning - not much time as car meet at 12 oclock :2Rolleyes
despite the hard work totaly happy with new look
Pete
hi peter
I removed the full light unit and bracket with motor, yes was pig to remove but only took 4o mins form what I remember but the easiest option.
I then sold the fulll unit with light and bracket for 100 which almost cover half the cost of the lights at the time.
Try these link for more info on bolt location for removing the full light system

2 year olds have no idea of time :rollin no kids left at home now - good job as between us have 9 plus 11 grandkids with twins due end of may (glad dont think 13 unlucky )- would need a block of flats to house them all
pete
always up early and you have a choice:)
What is is about kids my 6 year old never wants to get up but my 2 year old likes to wake her:).
Block of flats I think you need your own town to house your lot Pete :Thumbs-up
Right off to get them washed and out to feed the ducks I think.
I bet your never short of helper for the rx
Good luck with the removal PEte.
Cheers
Eddie yes need a town LOL boxing day is manic we all meet up for a feed & drink session and open presents its a bit busy.
lights finished by 11 am leave home 11.30 car meet noon - tight finish but all work,will have them off in a few days to get painted same black as bodywork and tidy wiring up,plus rushed fitting light units - all in all well pleased :D
Pete
very happy with lights ,good fit to bodywork but warning for anybody else fitting them the bayonet connectors arent a tight fit had 1 come off today so when i got back home put some black ducktape round to hold them in - out of sight so nobody knows - damn just let the cat out the bag :rollin
finaly got round to removing popup motors yesterday ,pain to do but they are out.also due to rushing for car meet when fitting the new kit wasnt seated as well as wanted fitwise to wings/bonnet,after much swearing taking offside on and off wife spotted as i tightened 1 bolt on pod it lifted the other side nearer wing up so compensated by putting a bolt underneath the pod before fastening at that side - sorted
