As one of my foglight lenses was cracked i thought i would try out the cheap plastic lens ones on ebay until i refurb the oem ones.

They feel cheap as and i had to cut a bit off to get one of the wiring plugs to fit but i didnt expected them to be great tbh. They did fit into the oem mounting brackets so easy swapped when time comes.

Hids for the headlights next but haven't decided if they are going yellow or smoked with crosshairs yet.

The brown has really grown on me, looks amazing with the original wheels.

I don’t really like too much movement from the original look, but this is something special.

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at some point.
