give the turning lamps a good polish using some brasso or a cutting compound and they will come up heaps better.

I did it with mine at it worked a treat.

The early turning lights are not suitable for use as foglights as the angle is all wrong. I have heard it is possible to graft some Ford Focus foglights into the existing holes, which would be ideal and cheap.

My L/H headlamp is all fogged up and full of condensation...not happy! Have emailed the seller and they've given me a number to call so hopefully we can work something out coz it looks so crappy.

It seems to be a common fault with aftermarket lights - I had the same problem with my Altezza rear lights. One of them filled up with water which got half way up the lense!

I tried to get a replacement but was told they only guarantee them for 30 days!

Yeah, if they won't replace it, we'll have to just pull it apart and dry it out and reseal it properly coz I'd say that's all the problem is, it hasn't been fully sealed, I think it may be fixable but I don't think I should have to fix something that's only been used for 2 weeks.

Yeah, I wrote them an email and they wrote back with a phone number of their installation manager who I have to call...but have to wait till Monday for that.

anyone got a picture of the black ones on a black/very dark green(almost black) soarer?

also i noticed these are the same guys who do the smoked rear tail lights but as seen from another thread the quality and fitment is poor.

Not so with the headlights?

Does anyone know what is the bulb fitment on the low and hi-beam for these headlights, cause i read somewhere they're not the factory size.

I know the low beam for the group buy ones is H1 because I had mine out last weekend, and will be going back to the original lights due to quality control issues, but I can't recall what high beam is. What problems you ask? Leaking from new and not enough adjustment to get the beams right. These lights are not worth the effort. If you want some cheap ones, I will sell you my complete set of high and low beams for $100 and you can sort them out

Thanks Gary, i just needed to know before i go buy a hid kit for it. At the moment, the light are pointing a little too high but its not blinding oncoming traffic so I'll be adjusting them to make them lower as much as possible as soon as i get my hid kit.

Its worth mentioning that adjustment will probably have to be made again after installing the HID conversion. The positioning of the light source is critical and even a mm or two will throw the beam off a long way - my experience anyway :-)

How did the complaint about the leaky light go?
