Well I decided to change from the yellowish standard lights in my OEM Angels to a bright white light, so its more in keeping with the Xeons

Happy with the results... although I can't believe you have to remove the entire headlight to change essentially a side light bulb...













Keep catching myself trying to see the reflection of the lights in cars when stuck in traffic at lights (Some people need to wash their cars more )

The lights look really good and you've interested me in doing the same mod. What lights did you buy and how much were they? You mention removing the entire headlight, was it difficult to fit? How long did it take?

Fleebay seems cheapest option for the uk.. but make sure you get the right type of bulb, I think LCI models have a different bulb

Head light removal is easy.. its 4 Torx screws two on top of the headlight that you remove and two towards the back that you loosen to allow you to slide the head light out (takes a bit of wiggling) it out

have a look

If you have tiny girlie hands like me and don't mind them getting cut or scratched in a few places during the process, you can change the lights without removing the whole ass'y.

Anyway, nice mod jay! Looking forward to see more upgrades in the future. Cheers
