You are very welcome THFC, it works great with your black paint job and coded wheels.

Hi,
i have done this mod, after pondering about it for months! IMO its a great enhancement, i choose to totally remove the amber, so no orange strip left in there at all.
TBH the hardest thing was not doing the mod, but finding chrome amber indicator bulbs,despite people listing the bulb as a 581 type, it is not!! Its actually a 3156 type, and the nearest i got was a 3157 type just had to shave these little plastic pins off the edges so they'd slot into the bulb holder-job done!
AFAIK tho these were meant for the american market(bought em off evilbay)so might be interesting when its MOT time
As for xenon sidelights-not heard of that one!! many of us have put in the LED super white sidelight bulbs available from Hids4u.
Cornering lights are H8 type and i have upgraded these again from Hids4u to an extreme white to match my H7 type main beam light. Phew you got all that
Next mod, poss this weekend is a HID xenon H11R upgrade for the fog lights i'll try and get pics done once its all complete

Tint spray or smoke spray
Hi
Has any of you clever modders sprayed the orange with a smoky tint spray stuff? i know some have left the thin side orange bit in, might be nice to spray that up to give it the later look...
