I can but I'm in Stafford.

They're really simple mate. Find a good palce to put the Ballasts, and follow the instructions for what wires to go where. Don't need to be any kind of expert to do so.

If they're anything like the mark5 ones your lights will have cases on the backs that will need drilling also.

You need a 25mm piece for this. You can get them from B&Q for under £5.

umm off the top of my head a year. But it really deosn't matter when it comes to that company. They're so good with returns they don't really ever ask questions.

Just to a bit of reasearch on the net for fitting them mate, they're really really easy to do. Anybody could do them after reading the instructions.

You basically plug all the wires in according to how they tell you in the instructions, find a place to put the ballasts, and drill a hole in the back of the headlight casing for the wiring grommet.

Give this a read:

Back should just be stuck on, just a case of prying it off. Front will be clipped in, with a possible screw also.

Rear badge back together use hot glue from a glue gun, or something similar.

For sticking back to the boot go to screwfix and get some foam tape.
