They are a good fit and look cool with no orange!! I used the electric tilt control from the old units and wired up the extra side lights, all working perfectly and then passed MOT with no issues...

Here's the black version for comparison. Never been into shiny myself :D

The quality of light these produce is so much better than original - just this makes it a worthwhile upgrade...

They look fab, but . . . I do like the shiny ones :oops:
Were they easy to fit ?

Pretty easy. Couple of hours tops.

Worst bit is making sure you keep the beam alignment, but the instructions cover that. Got mine from justroadster.com - Simon there is a top chap!

If you message me your email, I'll send you the fitting instructions for a quick preview!

The units from JustRoadster came with orange bulbs, but these got changed to silver bulbs. Looks much neater.

You will also want to change the bumper marker bulbs to white LED's, as they will match the whiter bulbs in the headlights.

There was a small issue with fitting mine. The cable from the passenger side indicator on the new unit was about 3 inches too short, so we had to patch in some extra cable to make it reach the connector in the loom. Not sure if this affects all cars or not.
