Um, which one, he lists 2?

Would be nice to see the Xenon ones in dark pic to see what they are like but they both look nice, looks like a nice easy kit to put in.

I think this is the set that Gouki has and I know he rates them very highly.

The rings look great and he says that they give out more light than smilies as well.

as Zayyan said, they are a pretty good upgrade from my experience from the smileys, expensive but worth it, plus the fact it has the angel halos on there, they look better than trying to retro fit them to the standard headlights.

this was tried before Simon about a year ago wasn't it. I would definitely be interested in a group buy of smoked angel eyes but I dont think they have the popularity to be a group buy. Maybe Sal could have a word with one supplier and see if we could get them on the zone shop. WIth all the exposure its getting at the moment in magazines, Im sure there are lots of people using it who aren't zone originals, the business generated might be quite decent for a supplier.

Just a thought

Ive emailed the guy in germany because they are alot cheaper than the set in england and only 20euro delivered too
189euro=130 sterling
Ive emailed him asking wheter they are adjustable to shine on the left rather than on the right like they would be in germany
cheers

The short answer is YES

the long answer is... there are 3 screws on the back of the lights to adjust the angle of the light.

Sounds as simple as sorting the smileys.

Do you think the ones on ebay.de are a good deal then Mr. Smithy?

I had a similar view but after seeing them in the flesh (at Aces on Gouki's car) it changed my mind :)

And 130 quid is reasonable for a new set of lights like this I reckon.

i like the dark set, would look sweet, the angel eyes look good on the newer bm's but i think they would make a car stand out even more than standard :D
faster faster i wanna go faster!!!
