I have taken a few pics, they were in the light tho so not really much point, but have taken the kit out now.
The kit is now for sale, it was my brothers who used it in his saxo, sold his saxo and got a bike. I can't afford them for my GP, wish I could they were great. Open to offers, will get the few pics I have up in a min.

They really are wicked, look great coming towards you, and the fact you can't get xenons as an option makes the car look really individual.
They light the road up fantastically, was so impressed. If the kit doesn't sell I might just save up to buy them off my bro.

also what happens if one of the bulbs go? do you have to buy a whole new set? (inc box) or just a new bulb, if so how much are just the bulbs?

It is one box per light, Quite a bit of room to securely fix them though.
The type of light in the GP and this kit does both high and low beam.
If a bulb goes you can get replacement bulbs, plus if you buy a new car all you have to do is by the new bulbs, if they are a different type, not a whole new set. For a set of two new bulbs it is £90. But these bulbs far outlast normal bulbs, aparantly these bulbs will outlast a cars life.

wicked, thanks for all the info on these, looks like my list of mods has just grown by one!!
These are only legal (and pass a mot) in the UK if they are self-leveling. Most after-market ones are not. If they replace current normal bulbs the chances are they are illegal, thats why they are such an expensive option on new cars, £200-300 for the lights £200-400 for the self-leveling mountings.

i was told they only have to be leveling if fitted from new, if they fitted to old cars then it ok
nope, then all the dealers could offer the conversion kits as dealer fit options.
