Stoopid bloomin Spanish motors.... why on earch would you design a car where you have to take hte bumber off to fit the headlights?

Apparently it's a pretty easy job, just make sure you put a rug on the floor to avoid scratches on the bumber

how much were them angel eyes?

are they fully UK legal?

I think the standard Leon lights are crap when dimmed - can only see about 20 feet in front of me

i got em off ebay for £100 there are always other set available for 160 ish upwards
they are fully e marked and road legal

Angel eyes wont improve lighting at all,s ome say it degrades it by about 10%, theres only one way to improve the lights and its by a uber xenon kit

But this plate is only for a selected group of cars hehehe. Normal cars have plates like you there in the UK. My rear plate is like yours, just this is white.
