Look the same as usual, heat up folded over clips and remove, i will double check later for you :)

So this is the back of the lights,
the black and white wire goes to 7 LEDs that light the halos, you can just change the colour of LED to change the colour of the halo which is good. The red and black goes to the 3 LEDs that go down the side. I havent connected either i just dont think it would go with the car. However they still look great.
There was one issue with then in that they had the wrong connectors on for our car.
First from the car:
Now from the lights
This was easily sorted; using the original lead I cut off the bulb connector and attached small spade connectors(Female) to each of the wires red(High Beam), green(Low Beam), black(Earth)
These were then pushed on to the spade connectors(male) inside the the blue connector housing, Red to Red, Green to Blue and black to black. Job done.
Someone mentioned an issue with which way the light would face which i was worried about, however when they arrived they were already setup for LHD, i think they will be ok but my MOT is coming up soon so i will find out for sure then, they do seem fine though i got my mate to drive past when it was dark and he said it was fine.
I will post up some pics of them on as soon as possible :)

Just a quick one before you fit them, how easy do you think it would
be to remove the front cover?Its the same, 4 clips that just need heating a little to make them bend.

They look great. Would you say they are made for LHD or literally just the same ones adjusted for LHD with adjustment screws?

I recon they all point down the middle then can be adjusted for left or right hand drive.
Sorry no pics yet just waiting for the weather to change so they will look their best lol

Are the projectors ready for HID's? Are the Bi Xenon capable Projectors? Want to put HID projectors on mine, did my bike no problem, but I cant find clear lenses to replace the refracted ones with so its looking like this will be the only option, be very interested how you get on witht hem if your gonna HID them

Yes i think is the answer to both your questions but if you look here it should help, im not to great with electricity and lights or try djmarcopolo i think he just got some too - http://www.uk-mx3.com//forum/viewtopic.php?t=3444
Also if you look on this site there is clear glass lenses for your normal lights, i was gonna do this myself but just went for the pro's - http://www.sickhids.com/apps/webstore/products/show/653006

Finally got some anyway even though light was bad :D

they look AWESOME! I want some now. How is the fitment along the body lines? Some people complained the ones with vertical LEDs were a bit gappy around the bottom, but they look amazing in your pics.

Im not gonna lie, you cant tell on the pics but yeh they are a bit gappy, i'll try and get a closer pic posted tonight. Im thinkin of getting some rubber edgeing to put round them on the body if you get me to close the gap a bit

Awesome, nice one! You say pro's, but you can do a proper bixenon projector retrofit if you buy the projectors and the clear glass. Id be interested to know if the projectors you have do the flip up thing so as to have Hi/Lo from the same projector, if they do, then hell, Ill just buy those instead and save myself the hassle of baking my lights!

If i understand you right, no they dont mate. There are two sets of lights in each unit, one for full beam and one for dipped, then the LED's are indicators, and halo rings don't do much except look dated :P so i havent connected them.

Quit yo jibber jabber, crazy fools! Halo's look sweet on a decent car, they only look naff on a 306/Golf/Saxo/Astra/Corsa/etc.
Yeah Im with you now on what these are. Problem with it is if you HID full beam then itll be awful as the lights take a few seconds to warm up, after that itll be very bright, but then youll have to go back to dip and its gonna seem really dark. The other thing with HID's is that they dont like being turned on and off in quick succesion, so thats not gonna be good if you flash people often.
Im guessing if you put in a bixenon hid into the projector it would just go all to hell as there shouldnt be the metal cage inside the projector, they use convex imaging, so up is down, down is up. If you bulb cage is blocking light going to the top area of the reflector then youll be left with lights that put light into the sky. Thats if there isnt a safety plate to prevent that.
When you have the chance Id be very interested in seeing a beam pattern photo. J
