you just need to cut a bit of the plastic out underneath to get the ballasts to fit in

Washers are a legal requirement on OEM fitted xenon headlights HOWEVER 99% of MOT test centers dont even know this let alone check if they are there.

oh yeah rusty cars are a big drawback in england . here in malta we import a lot of second hand cars from there and a good bunch of them has got rust problems some quite serious. salty roads are a very bad, stupid idea when concerning cars!! thank god it does not snow here in malta hehe. btw sry for hijacking the thread

yeah the sun here is terribly harsh especially on rubber and seals, they all go crunchy if you do not look after them. but still it is easier to look after the car in a sunny environment then salty once. although living near the sea here in malta is also a little problematic due to sea rash
