i dont think so they are a good kit but have no cutoff like real projectors//my advice buy the kit minus the lights and get hella 50mm ones and make up a loom for fitting

spot on....but it depends how friendly you are with the MOT guy:Laugh

also you will find the lighting on these below par so i would definately get a hid kit for them

I thought it was the angling to the left that caused the problem with the mot. my old evo r set of lights never had any blinding issues....its about how they are positioned. the evo r set did have a cut off....they didnt just blare into the darkness......there was a straight line where the lighting ended...(IYKWIM)

Anyway a friendly mot guy should be able to help you out.

Also james they are cheaper from the rx7club groupbuy.....and Jay will send them out to you no problem.
