Mk1 lights look easier to fit than mk2, I only used mk2 because I had them.

Once u fitted the headlights take it in.a garage and they can adjust the beam for you as mine needed doing when I whent on for mot they done it there and then

Mine are mk2 and a lot of swearing and customisation was involved fitting them as I don't have much room for headlights with my virtual lift :lol:

On another note please get some cool lenses not chavtastic angel eyes :lol:

cool lenses? lol what types are there? basically i just want to get some with the sidelights in and angel eyes are all ive seen lol, and the other reason i was going to do them was so that they take normal halogen bulbs instead of the old type..
