Default Angel headlights

Just got a pair from ebay and they look brilliant and light up pretty well.
only downside i have been informed they are a bit of a hazard and are known to melting not only the lights but the wiring harness on ur car.

anyone else heard this or can i breath a sigh of relief?

Smile relays !

Hi

I just got a pair off ebay to this week.. £124 ?
They come with relays so should not melt the car wiring harness.
Well fingers crossed that they don't melt or we both won't be happy..lol

Smile stripped mine

Ye think your right about the side lights being disconnected...maybe have to change the bulbs ..see if can get a blue ish colour for them .

Had to strip mine down so could paint them light silver to match car...so had to re-align the headlights myself...fairly easy .

Mine are fitted to a pre facelift model so dont fit perfectly...but look loads better than the standards..and at the price you cannot grumble !!!

if there is a motorworld near u mate the sidelight bulbs are about ten quid and they do all sorts of colours.

i use to have some but they are not e marked and hence not legal.
i had the polic ask me to remove them a while back plus the led for some reason didnt last as long as a standard bulb.

Question

I was considering a set of these but on a MY95 wouldn't you get that gap between them & the grill like with Morettes. They say MY93-01 but surely they are only an exact fit from MY97 onwards because of the different shaped grill & lights?
