Iv had two leons now and changed both to angel eyes and i swear none of the four sets of lights have sat perfectly flush. Is this normal or is it just me? Or is it kinda me being too much of a perfectionist?

Current got 2mm packer between light and grill. 2mm bottom part of light to bumper. 4mm top of light to bonnet and the big one! 6mm! From back/nearest side of car which seems like a big gap?

Anyone measure the big one for me and see if its supposed to be 6mm.

dont think/hope it has't had a smack. plus its exactly the same either side.

and lee i mean 1 original set and 1 aftermarket set for my 1.6 and same again for the Cupra R

pisses me right off every time i clean the car cos i see the gap and its prob a normal size 6mm gap at back of lights


and Sam (Pyro) i put the old headlight back in and it was the same gaps as the angel eyes. They do look awesome though. CCFL rings in as standard he he he!
