Hi was wondering if anyone knows if the headlight leveling motors out my existing headlights will fit these aftermarket ones as the company said they would but I would have thought it would have been different wiring to to the motor feed coming from the headlight it self haven't look at my original ones yet as I need to change them due to driver side badly condensating was looking at these headlights.

IIRC when @Sheppy1 looked into buying aftermarket lights the leveling motors are built inside the factory headlights and it would of cost him an extra£40-50 to buy them separate,

No problem do any of you know where the best place to get aftermarket lights with levelling? As like the led strips with projectors. As below is my current headlight got a retrofit done by a company in Scotland and he tried to plastic weld them which split eventually so had to sikaflex them but still no good now gradually getting worse and they are out of warranty as you can see one of the photos shows the split, so just going to bite the bullet and try and get a decent set of aftermarket projector lights just now if any of you know anywhere or recommendations.

I’d dry them out and use some headlamp sealant.

Best place to of cut them is the front (where the clear cover meets the back).

No problem maybe give it another attempt to try and fix them as they do look nice when they are dry as below, lost count now to how many times I have dropped the bumper now for these lol.

This is what you'd want

& put a couple of sillca packs in each lamp also which will help.
