Anybody clued up on these? - bhalay207 - 12:th-Apr-2015

Price wise they are a little steep. Whats your thoughts on them?

you should buy a spare set of headlights for the retro fit
i would say the aftermarket work out cheaper and they have the LED DRL
you just need a H1 HID KIT to go with it and a lot less work
they were not out when i did the retro fit and there were no RHD ones anywhere

I think the retrofit ones look better than the aftermarket.
I'm fussing the headlight levelling doesn't work on the retrofit though.
RE: Anybody clued up on these? - tucpal - 12:th-Apr-2015
yes it still works with the Manuel leveling but it is not auto leveling
RE: Anybody clued up on these? - WhelanUK - 12:th-Apr-2015
You mean the switch inside still works?
RE: Anybody clued up on these? - tucpal - 12:th-Apr-2015
yes mate
RE: Anybody clued up on these? - WhelanUK - 12:th-Apr-2015
In that case the retrofit got to be the better choice as looks soooo good. Any problems at MOT?

Righty ho; time for me to blow the spray from my fountain of knowledge towards you guys.
I've had the aftermarket Xenons as linked above in mine for 6 months now and I've never looked back. The DRLs look far superior to any standard Vauxhall unit, the look incredible when fitted with a good HID kit and everything works on them including the levelling. I also think it has a certain degree of self levelling as if your stopped on an incline in traffic, you can see them moving down and then they move back up again and I won't have touched the switch although you can do that too.
The price is a little steep but when they arrive it's a lot of item for your money ad they are very well built. I believe I've seen them for 320 somewhere.
If you want pics or any other info, then feel free to ask in a PM or on here
(it's so much easier than a OEM retrofit as there is £900 worth of parts to get it to work never mind the having to make your own new wiring looms etc, and fitting projectors into the original lights looks like a lot off faff melting glue and grinding it all out etc. But I'm a guy who just wants to take the old thing out, put the new ones in and have it working in 30 mins)
Regards.
Jordan
