I'm liking those lights stormos, might have to get me some of those. Could you just clarify a few things though mate.
How do you rate the build quality compared to the stock lights?
Do they have a glass frount cover, some of the American ones have plastic which gets all pitted & cloudy.
Also when you get them adjusted, let us know if they work, ie. can you see where your going

cheers fella

Already i can see they are ALOT brighter and i haven't got a HID kit yet. Len's are glass and the build quality seems good. they fit perfectly where the old one went.

Umnitza fitted the angel eyes and sealed the lens with silicone sealant whcih was handy

EDIT: are you going to take it to the shop for the install of the new kidney grills?

cheeky git!!!

the Stoneguard is a Lamin-x sheet for each headlight. it takes a few days/weeks after application for any moisture behind the film created during the application to dry out.

Got it as the only reason i changed the stocks was a stone went through one of them..... so it was a definate must....
