the diameter of the rings for the main beam in the ones we got from tha usa are 100mm but to fit anything in the dipped side it just dont work right,as there not round but if you want them in the fogs there 71mm

ive managed to close mine this evening smile

I'm sticking to just having the larger eyes in mine, i think main beam and fog lights is a little too much. with this in mind ive fitted the invertors inside the light unit (one in each) and run a connecting wire through the case. this way the cables stay the same length as manufactured smile

will hopefully fit them the weekend smile

Looks good Ninja. So will your angel eyes only come on with the headlights then, not with the side lights?

Yeh. The only thing i had to think about when wiring them into the side lights was that you have to run the cable all the way along the inside of the bonnet and back to the front, because there are no side light connections in the light cluster on the bonnet (if you get what i mean?)

If I go for this I think I'll go for ninja's setup. Would be interested to see what that looks like when it's up and going. When you have a pic with just the sidelights and another with the headlights on please post them.

Karl, is it not possible to have the sidelights and the angel eyes running at the same time. Your pic appears to have the angels in the fogs and on the main beams on along with the headlights, but no sidelights?

Just spotted this thread, and really like the look of the ones from the US.

So the two sets for 99 dollars im guessing your asking for one set of 100mm for the mains and one set of 71mm for the fogs? Giving a total of 4 x 100mm and 4 x 71mm so you can go halvers with another forum member?

Fair enough cowboy, but why are the sidelights not on (i.e. the ones next to the fogs)?

Think standard side lights next to the angel eyes in the fogs would look a bit naff.

But if you did not have the angel eyes in the fogs (only around the main beam) would/could the sidelights work?

Thanks Karl, that's interesting.

When you say took them out do you mean removed the bulb or are you talking something more significant? How confident are you that the coop would pass its MOT with the angels in the fogs but no traditional sidelight? Is it a given?

I have to say that if there's a no sidelight option that does make the stacked angel-eye more attractive to my mind's eye - looking at your image again.

I don`t see any problem with the MOT,as long as they are both working and light up with a white light then they should be fine thumb .
