cheers, im loving them!! howd you do it n what did you use??

thanks, and once again. Really ace mod in my oppinion!!

[Paddy]

Plenty of beers and to much money!

The list would probably be.

Alternative headlight units (with auto leveling and refractor lens).
Auto Level sensors.
HID bulbs 6000K i think.
Philips +80% bulbs
Silver tech indicator bulbs.
Ultra white LEDs

Cost... to much.

Then the time to fit them and wire them all propery.

[joeishmather]

how much did it cost, roughly? im just wanting the led bits mainly, could they be put into the standard units? my meganes a 57 plate if that makeas any difference???

[Paddy]

There not in the light units

They fill the gap between the lights and the bumper.

You need to unscrew the light and move them to the highest position. In order for the gap to be big enough.

(if you dont have auto leveling lights you will need to have them leveled after doing this)

Its a 12V LED strip that i made and set in silicon to make it flexable and water resistant.

if the lights go bzzz bzz when im messing with them does this mean there leveling themselves? also where did you wire the led parts into and where didi you get them from?


thanks

[Paddy]

I got the LEDs from ebay. Although you can by on the high street (Maplin). You also need resistors and copper strips etc. Then constructed the strips.

If there are motors in the lights and sensors coming from the lights to the chassis then they are auto leveling.

If not getting lights leveled only cost about £20 or less.

The buzz buzz sound could be you about to fry yourself!!!

[joeishmather]

Gees no lad look at the price of them...

This is the same thing for less than half the price.

These will work perfectly.

Take power from your side light if you want them on with the rest of your lights.. or from somewhere else if you want them as DRL's.

You will only have auto leveling lights if your car came with the HID option. If there standard filliment bulbs it doesnt feature.
