Just xenons ?!. There simple to fit and should come with instructions in the box, they make a big difference to night driving and I recommend them to any driver.

They actually are plug and play

The issue comes in getting the globe to stay in

The stock globes are held in by something similar to this

I reused that, and bent away the 2 flaps that fold forward and it now stays permanently

The wires need to be separated before they can be routed nicely

Thanks for the advice - will I need to remove the headlights from the cars to get access or is it do-able with them left in (don't want to screw up the alignment)?
