Ok I think I know what you mean. On the second panel (where the two battery posts and the main battery connectors are exposed) I simply mounted the ring terminal of the new wiring connector in between the nut that you loosen to remove the main battery connectors from the battery posts - didn't mount it through the pegs!

Angel eyes fitted and working now! Although I didn't use the wiring loom they gave me as when wired up the angel eyes didn't work? :? I've also ripped out the old beam adjuster motors from the OE valeo lights and fitted them on so I've got the ability to adjust the lights via the dash. :) and the sidelight holders (the inner lights) dont seem to fit H1 bulbs so I just fitted another set of H7 bulbs there.

Only problem now though, the lights dont seem all that bright? I mean they dont light up the road ahead far enough. Driving along a pitch black road last night coming back from the cinemas and it was a bit shifty, almost dangerous even! :( it's as if the lights only shine on the ground a foot in front of the car and that's it. Is it possible to adjust them further? As I cant adjust them any further from the switch

Generally though, it looks really good and not OTT. I'll get some pics when I clean her up and it stops raining!

take it to an mot station and ask them to set the beam, the lights need adjusting after fitting, thats why you cant see the road

Does anyone have a picture of their angel eyes fitted and lit up?

Mine still seem pretty dim, which is a shame and am I right in thinking the middle lights dont come on anymore as the angel eyes are now the sidelights? and the remaining lights are for full beam usage?

It's been a while since I've been back on here. Good to see everyone still about.

if you can't see the rings unless its pitch black, theres no point surely?
