Followed the guide. Except for me, the pins the wires had to be connected to was a lil different but that may just be mine as tegwin said all the others he has dealt with are the same as the guide.

I also found out that when you have it all hooked up and your key in but not switched on, if the LEDs are still on but very dim, swap the bulb holders around. Maybe be useful to note..
Cheers mate

looks lower on 16's, but i really am feeling the G60's, with that bit of lip on it. get some spacers on there and it will look sorted!

can you get some side on shots with the G60s or front angle view, dont know about yours but my front end is way up in the air on stock springs, my sportlines have arrived and i would love to see how the front sits. are you on standard shocks too?

on a side note, iv sent payment for my led boards but havent heard anything back from 'tegwin' was the delivery fast on yours?

MOT FAILURE

This is a right pain in the ass now and completely the wrong time.. Basically failed on two parts but maybe due to my luck in picking the wrong garage!

1. Offside headlamp - the reflector component inside the headlight was not fixed and moving about inside so it was adversely affecting the beam image.
2. Both tyres rubbing on full lock - Swapped it to my old OZ's as they had brand new tyres on them still, weren't too sure about my current on the steelies.

I've ordered FK projector headlights which should be here by Monday HOPEFULLY!

...and the wheels I'm borrowing a set of my mate

So all waiting for my FK's :D
