Nice motor geoff, I do like them in black - if I had your car I would be considering a set of larger wheels, perhaps some new shape Mv6 ones and a set of projector headlights to bring the front up-to-date a bit..

Sorry to mention this, I think the clear and black projector lights are being sold by someone in canada and so they are for left hand drive cars which are an MOT failure. If not from the person in canada i'd still be inclined to confirm they are for a RHD car for piece of mind.

Best to look for a set from a known RHD car.

HTH thought id mention it as someone on here a long while ago bought some and got stung.

Post by: hol666 on 25 May 2007, 20:41:46
The black and clear projectors are from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada in that link, they are registered on ebay.ca, I emailed them a couple of months ago regarding whether or not they were UK legal, never replied.  It does say DOT, SAE & TUV legal, is there a switch or lever on the back to change the dip, heard this about projectors? try this one....
