got my new sidelights and headlights yesterday so my dad got them on this morning

sidelights are Philips BlueVision Ultra, to be honest i was a little let down because they advertise them to be really blue but its only a slight tint but the light is pretty crisp and white! which is pretty nice!


the headlights are Ring XenonMax bulbs and look stunning!


once i pass my test i will go out and take some proper pictures as these so far are quite poo!
