I fitted mine eariler! got dark while I was doing it so looking forward to seeing them in the morning. It took a while to adjust the height of them, but Ive got it pretty close to where it should be. I havent wired the halo rings yet, but will when I get the soldering iron back. Just looking out the window (its raining) there is a fair bit of condensation in the lights, just around the indicators on both units. Is this usual? They still look cool! And I got the sidelight LEDs today, they are bluer than I thought! ;D

did you buy the spark blue or Xenon White ones? the Xenon white ones are more suitable...i've had both & found the white ones better...

Mine do look quite blue, Ill go check them out in a bit, swap them with my other LEDs. What about the condensation - is there anything you know of that I can do?

if there this blue then you got the wrong ones ( these are the spark blue ones i had for a while) the xenon white ones have a white cap and the spark blue ones have blue caps....easy to tell apart....as for your condensation...it really down to the tightnes of the catch/slot which the indicator slots and turn into.....may be its loose and not tight as it would be on a standard head lamp unit....u may need a thicker rubber seal ring that goes around the bit which the indicator bulb sits in??? you know what am talkin bout here?

Yeah I know what you are talking about, I will look into it in the morning when in daylight. Maybe I just need to turn them a bit, as depending on what angle they are at, they get stiffer or slacker, due to the shape of the hole they fit into. The LEDs I have have white caps, they must be the right ones, must just be that Im not used to them! They look very cool Will get pics tomorrow, weather permitting! What is wrong with me these last few days! I keep needing to fix my spelling and modifying posts! I cant type recently! ;D

mine took so long to come that i thought they were lost in the mail...so i emailed the dude and stated i want resolve to the matter...he sent out a replacement one...i got the original order last week and the replacement onces today! so i i got myself two pairs ;D
ogga there not that bright but a much better look than the yellow original ones which do not suit if you have a blue HID bulb and halo in your case..

Its straight out of my bedroom window ;D My front garden is on a hill and then Im two stories up, so thats the angle I get straight down to my car. When its better weather I'll retake the pic and angle the wheels to the other direction so you can see the front alloy instead of just the tyre. Also You'll be able to see my rear lights, in that pic they are all frosted over!

For those of you wanting to see how bright the rings are at night, as I was a bit worried before I fitted mine after hearing that they were dim, heres a pic I just took (I've finally wired them after getting some good weather) Obviously when the dipped beams are on you can hardly see the halos, but like they are in the pic they are pretty visable!

is the lighting on the road an improvement from the OEM headlights or are they worse?
reason i am asking is coz they dont look very bright but cant really tell unless your sitting inside the car.
