Yes its diesel, now cry u lost
What a mission. I glad i chose to go over to my mates garage as i would of been fobard without the little grinding tools. Just removing a little bit of your inner wing is deffo not the case!!
Dont get me wrong its not a difficult job, more of a pain in the arris!!
you need to grind out some plastic off the slam panel, remove the outer bolt and holder for the orig 2 piece lights, and you have to be very good with a grinder. it took me about an hour to do it, grinding, smoothing rust proofing and making up a loom out of the old and new. ill post more pics up as we was going along later as there on my mates phone.
this morning, new bulbs arrived as there different types between the old and new. New H1 Hid bulbs and H7 flashers.
birds eye view of the rear of the lights, old pre faclift connectors mounted into the plastic cover along side the HID bulb fitments
same light from a different view
head light in and working....
you wil prob notice a massive gap below the light, thats due to the bumper being damaged. it sits slightly too low. that is on my list *to do* once my redundancy moneys here!
cant wait till it gets dark so i can go see what me new lights look like! Ill get some better pics later. Best £60 i have spent!

along with the *osram blue* things you can see reflecting in the 1st pic. (they light up white tho not blue) my old 35w larger ballast kit was looking a bit dated. the 50w are F**king bright and i only seen them in the day light. i have perfect set lines on the rear of cars as i pull up behind them, much better than the skitty pattern im used to in my old lights. Im trying to find a facelift Front bumper so they look spot on now. (as i need a new one)
