Have anyone changed the headlights to HID projector headlights?

Got a guide for me?

I really want HID's, but need a guide to changing the projectors first, so I know I'll get it right.

Gee,

I just found out it's 2.500£ to get my xenons legal here -_-

Hi there,
I got a pair of angel eyes which has a projector within the headlight and also comes with a H.I.D kit.

If interested let me know

Heres some pics of them on my car and how they look on their own.

Fully legal as they have always passed m.o.t with out any issues and there's quite a few guys on this forum with them

That's the one I want!!

But I need to figure out how to install it myself. Got a guide?

Drop the front bumper

I followed the Forge intercooler fitting instructions to fit my angels:

Damn, that's more work than I thought.. I don't even got axle stands :/

I never used axel stands, that guide is for the intercooler removal and replacement

Its on a general guide of how to drop the bumper, not everything it tells you to do is nessesary mate

to get the headlights out i had to remove the grills from the bumper, remove the bumper and then take headlight out!
took me an hour and a half to get it off! far too much effort!
not a fan of angel headlights though bit chavvy!
had them on my old clio and suited well but don't think they suit newer cars

Meh, a lot work indeed! And cost a bit too!

I think I'll put this "DIY" mod on hold for a while, thanks for all the kind answers

Its only 'chavvy' on 'chavvy cars'..... The 9n3 is very 'unchavvy'...... Go for it Joz...

There's a car (think it was monks?) that had the standard lights modified to take projectors. Looked like the headlamps needed splitting to do it though.

It won Polo of the Month a while back, should still be there somewhere...

I don't find it chavy, I like it!

But the work and the price is a bit too much for me atm.

Monks car

^ thats the one! Cheers Alex!

I much prefer that to the angel eyes to be honest...

Those certainly looked smooth!
