That's great but it shouldn't need to be a garage job. It's a simple replacement which can take up to 30 minutes at most.

There are 2 sockets for each bulb. In the middle of each ring there is a space for a H1 bulb, so in one headlamp you would need 2 H1 bulbs. The side with the projector lense goes your HID's which are for your dipped beam. The sidelights are 501, or T10 or wedge bulbs. It's really not as hard as it sounds trust me lol.

If you know how to remove your front bumper then changing your headlamps should not be a problem as it is held in by 3 T25 screws. Unscrew them, unplug the stock headlamps from the wiring loom and then it's just a direct replacement with your new Angel Eye headlamps. Then all you have to do is plug your Angel Eyes into the wiring loom, screw back in the 3 T25 screws and fit the bumper back in.

Hey.

I wouldn't trust myself to take off the bumper lol!

The two H1's won't be a problem. . I'll also get some bright sidelights. . I have no idea what the "side with projector lense" is though. You say they're for dipped beam on the HIDS, but I don't have HIDS. Can the dipped beams then be another H1? Can all the bulbs be changed even after I have the lights fitted? The orange stock light that you changed to a white light. . can I simply unplug the orange one and go to halfords and try and find a white version?

I'm sorry for being a complete retard and I understand that I might be trying your patience now lol!

All bulbs can be changed once installed yes, apart from the LED's in the rings. As they are hard to get to, they are at the very bottom of the headlamp itself and it very hard to get to and would be a problem trying to replace these LED's if you want brighter rings (which I want :( And I need to know the name of the LED: http://www.xtralights.com/replacementha ... ingle.aspx )

As for the dipped beam. The H1 for your dipped beam is inside a projector lense. All the projector lense simply does is refract the light into a shape or beam pattern so the light isn't scattered everywhere. This can easily be changed and this is the place you would install your HID's.

I don't understand what you mean by the orange light, if you mean the yellow stock lights then yes, you can go to halfords buy bright white bulbs and replace them directly. Simple

If you live near by we can find a suitable place to meet and I can sort it all out for you.

Are they any good? I mean, I know some projector's are a load of $hit. Mine are on my Angel Eyes :( They use to be top dog! But now they are a bit crappy for some reason. I don't know what i've done to them, but when I first got them the point where the light is meant to be stopped (where the line is like: \__ ) it use to be really good and a dead solid line and use to have a little bit of colour so when u see that point the light would like blue for a second. But now the line is dead faint, I think I have done some to the lens :S

How did you align the dipped beam headlights? Ive just bought these lights and can find how to adjust the full beam but not the dipped beam... getting really confused now!
