These lights have black internals rather than chrome. They are different to smoked headlights because smoked headlights have tinted glass. However, I haven't seen smoked headlights for a Corsa for fooking ages, and any time I have seen headlights advertised as smoked ones they have actually been this type. The end.

Oh yea, my headlights are legal and the ones on Rossco's car are illegal as far as I know because they aren't e-marked.

My Crystal headlights are ‘E’ approved, but like Corsa Boy69 said, they are LHD.

It will prove interesting today, because I have my MOT

If they are LHD are they any good for driving at night? I really like them but if they dont light the road up well and you get flashed all the time by other cars coming towards you cos your blinding them then I dont want them! For the MOT would you not be able to get temporary reflectors stuck on them to make the beam shine the right way?

I had to adjust the beam level on mine to see properly at night.

Never had anyone flash me because they are too high or in their eyes, so I’m guessing it’s all good

I could have put reflectors for it to beam the other way, but I only just managed to put the spare wheel back in the well last night.

I’ll see if it passes or not in a min

HA HA HA !!!!!

It passed

Only thing they did was replaced the o/s CV Gaitor Strap what ever the hell that is

Now that’s out the way, time to book some body shop time

No, pop the bonnet and on the light it’s self you can adjust it.

the electric switch only adjusts it so far....just tweak it a little with a screw driver and that will move it

Job Done




And before any one asks, I didn’t talk the MOT testers round to giving me a pass....They just did
