Just a little update on the light situation. Fitted the Angel Eyes but whilst driving around tonight I prefered the old reflector lenses compared to the projectors. Might be what i'm used to. I love the look of the car with all black lights but think i'm gonna go back to my old reflector's

I'll post some pics up before I change them back. So now got some FK angel eyes available!

good lad, the standard lights look much better than the fk angel eyes IMO.

The rest of the car is looking quality, make sure you keep the rubstrips black

I prefer the look of angel eyes when off but the use of reflectors when on.

Think your looking at wrong pics mate, my car is the one with the colour coded strips!

Howard, I have just fitted my HID's and have had some concerns put forward from the MOT garage mechanic. My lights are showing no light pattern on the MOT test equipment.

So I contacted HIDS4U.co.uk. They asked if my car used reflectors or projectors in the headlights and if the rubber grommets are blue or black.

My reply was reflectors, blue grommets. This is apparently the correct combination for my headlights.

Is it possible that your angel eyes were looking awful because you had the wrong lamps? (Just an idea..

)

Well i've gone back to refractors now anyway. Could be. Mine have black grommets so could have been?

Thanks for tips and opinions guys

Thats weird, from what the guy had said, the black grommets are for cars with projector headlights, not reflectors..

Very strange. Work perfect with them.

Here are a couple of pics of the car with the black FK Angel Eyes and indicators. I think it looks pretty good (minus the standard wheels and it being on stilts and needing a good clean!). Just preferred driving at night with the HID's through the refractors rather than the angel eye projectors. Kept the black badge though.
