To be honest I just went by what someone said on here by saying it's fine... Someone who knows a fair bit about cars said it's fine. How do I check? Googled it but I can't seem to make sense of the diagrams lol

Easiest way would be to check at your local Mot places . Im guessing the beam pattern would be pointing the wrong way as they're from a different country
 
Yeah ofc as soon as they arrive and they are fitted ill post a few.

The best way to explain it is look at you headlights when your driving and you'll see they slightly kick up to the left illuminating the path or road signs if you on a motorway. This prevents you blinding oncoming traffic and their lights will also be kicking left so you don't get the same. Countrys that drive on the opposite side of the road use headlights that kick to the right to prevent the same thing happening. It didn't make much sense to me at first untill i actually thought about it whilst driving the other day hope this helps.

If you get a set would you mind posting some pics up please?

Also you can buy stick-on reflectors (the ones you use when driving abroad) to change the beam pattern.

A there ya go,

They look so smart! cant wait for mine
Did you fit them yourself and does the bumper have to come off to get the old ones out?

I got a mate to do it for me, and yeah the bumper had to come off. I helped him a lil bit, fiat decided to fit a lot of unnecessary screws which were a pain in the arse to get to, got there in the end though!
 
I was gonna do that too but decided I want bigger wheels anyway.. Gonna have to sell those lenso ones
