Are you going to seal around the hole that you've drilled in the lamp cover?

Got mine fitted - again didn't take that long, and I had the bumper off to neaten up the wiring a bit.

Have got a similar kit to Belly, but with slim ballasts so they tuck down the side of the headlight units :D

Had a dodgy wire which I had to bodge to get the main beam working, and the support I got from the seller "mybesteshop" on eBay was crap so unfortunately, despite a pretty good product, I don't really recommend them. Anyway, on with the poor pics! :
