thats what i thought. so you retrofitted teh directional feature also?

No, they are only available on the OEM Bi-xenon directional headlights....just a bit too advanced for me! lol
These are installing bi-xenon projectors into the existing reflectors....basically they look better, produce better light and don't dazzle like HIDs due to the cutoff. You can also still adjust them up/down to get the alignment correct. :D

i managed to get my hands on a 53 Plate Vauxhall Combo Van 1.7 DI (Low Compression Turbo no cooler) with 80k on the clock for..... wait for it..... £FREE. well i have to basically do a Days work for them and thats it.

she needs a little TLC as in new Seats and a lick of paint. but as im effectively getting my own Plasti Dip sprayer i can practice on the VAN :).

Pondering on one of my greatest decisions yet:

Decent lowering springs (£180) or budget FK AK coilovers (£220).

Stock shocks w/ 54k miles - unsure how long these would last on springs you see (more money for coilovers but don't have to worry about shocks 6 months down the line).

All for a 50mm drop D:
