It's a surprisingly cheap mod and there are some guides on how to install here somewhere. Here's how mine looks now:

Hi Neil,

Got my bulbs not long after ordering them and changed them yesterday morning. I've therefore changed the dipped and high beam lights and the angel eyes i.e. 'round parking' lights. To get to the lights, you need to twist open the two black covers - they have ridges and simply twist open.

Here's a pic of what you'll then see - sorry but I used my mobile phone camera so it's a bit c**p.


Please also bear in mind I have a 2006 vehicle and not the LCI like yours. Apart from the bulb holder of the angel eyes between our models though, I don't think there is much difference.

The bulb you're seeing is the angel eyes 5W W5W type bulb and to get it out you have to pull slightly on the two wires(green and brown) powering it - it pops out easy though so don't rip the wires out . Seeing it first though, is not easy - I used a little round mirror to locate it via a reflection of the innards. I also noticed today that if I looked up above the main bulb in your headlight from the outside and at the right angle, you can just see the little angel eyes bulb. What you're also seeing is the changed angel eye light - not as yellow as before - pic taken in sunny conditions.


After changing the bulb, popping it and the bulb holder back is also not too simple - it has to go back into a round hole from which it popped out. I used the mirror to see where it roughly was then kinda felt for it and popped the bulb back into the slot making sure there was a slight click that it was properly fitted back. You'll need 2 bulbs per side if you go ahead with the change. Hope this info helps - I would recommend doing it - my lights are much more useful in the dark - I don't have the Xenon look after the change but the lights are much better compared to what I had before.

The main lights came out with a slight twist of the little black 'handle' you see in the pic but since you're not changing those I'll not detail it here.

Nice looking machine mate, you got good taste, or are we biased here ?

Sagar

What a stunning car! Looks just like the one on my drive
Any more plans Dav?

I'm after some 20" summer rims if anyone has any suggestions.

Very nice!!! But then I am definitely biased...
