And what an easy job it was They look much better than crappy standard lights

The max power corsa manual says you need to take the whole front bumper off.................this is bull shit coz all i did was undo a few bolts to give the bumper some leeway and then squeezed the light units out. Only fiddly bit was disconnecting and connecting the passenger side housing cables. The cables dont stretch as far as the drivers side.

Pics tommorrow hopefully if it isnt too dark outside.

I used the motorised adjusters from my old headlights and i used the same bulbs too. They are more tinted then smoked but they definately look different from standard lights.

Bought them nearly brand new from Tomas off here for about £60, i say about £60 as i bought other stuff from him too at the same time so it was a bundle price.

MINT condition also

I am very pleased with them. Easy to fit and a bargain.

I normally use the FK smoked for the summer months then switch to std RHD for winter... but I've just picked up a set of the discontinued Ultra smoked RHD lights

They're not as cool as FK ones, but no-where near as shite as std.

So now I can have smoked lights in one form or another all year round

How come you switch them over? Dont u find them bright enough during winter?

Std ones are sooooooo shite I see corsa's with std ones and just think how shit they actually do look

Dunno whether to put my headlight brows back on. Dont really wanna cover these new lights up as they are nice.

I swap them over because I want RHD lights in the winter time as it's dark most of the times when I'm driving...

They discontinued them because well.. who knows! Just did, and I've got a set

I think that somehow mine are now brighter. No idea how this could be possible though as bulbs are the same and i wouldve thought with it being smoked it'd seem dimmer
