light fitting

[peterwolds]

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?

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.

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

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

cheers for link eddie that looks miles easier than what we did, the tractor arm for the popups at 1 side kept starting so took fuse out to stop it.
your way a lot quieter for a sunday morning avoid upsetting the neighbours with a grinder hacking away  :rollin
