Anonymous Unregistered A	I'm chillin' Am I sounding like an old woman? That's worrying... there I go again worrying!! Silly thing is in my job I do a lot of auto electrical work so asking a dumb question about the sidelights is rather embarrasing! I think it's time I actually started to pull my car apart and see what's what before asking silly questions! My heater fan packed up the other day too so an ideal time. Anyway, the HID's are superb and I can recommend the kit I purchased to anyone.

Anonymous Unregistered A	here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...s_promot_widget H1 is what you want. I can vouch that they are brilliant and do not blow the headlight motors. Quality of the cables and connectors are OEM standard just like Fiat. You just need to mount the ballasts on the underside of the headlight units which is slightly different to what others have done with the Group Buy HID's.

Went to fit them tonight but there doesn't appear to be enough clearance to get the bad boys into the light casing. Do you have to take the light cluster off to get them in? I didn't want to force them incase I broke the LED's. Also it doesn't seem to be a very secure fit? Can you use electrical tape to keep them in place?

When I put the new LEDS in they don't go into the light holder that far so theres still about 1cm of exposed bulb. With the bulb holder and the LED on I can't get the bulb into the hole with the electrical thing on it as well..does that make sense Ex 20VT - now something far more sensible'ish...

Well, it only seemed to go in one way, but didn't seem very secure at all I'll try again tomorrow, Im guessing they should go on as well as the original bulbs?

Anonymous Unregistered A	Yes they should, however that's not the ones I use. But I cannot see why they wouldn't fit, you're just being a fanny.

Some pics to explain: Overall Length LED won't fit in hole! And to make matters worse, when I put the original bulb back in it didn't work so I went to get the bulb out again and now the whole white unit won't come out at all. I've tried twisting it to unlock it but its not budging... Think I need a beer! Ex 20VT - now something far more sensible'ish...
