    lol@the middle pic... where do you plan on putting your number plates? or you just using the driving lights to provide a nice background 'glow'

    vote 1: dont put them at all.

    the only way it could be illegal for me to move my plate is if its not in clear site and the driving light im pretty sure its fine if you set them up proply

    Ones on my VK look similar?

    The further out you got he better the spread, I have mine wired up on a 3 position toggle switch on, off, only with high beam. Needless to say it stays only on with high beam, although they do get under fog quiet well in foggy conditions

    cheers

    Upgrade your existing bulbs, and put driving lights where VK berlina's are.

    Pretty sure driving lights need to be atleast 30cm apart? Remember reading that somewhere at some stage. Cbf finding the relevent info though.

    Front of VH's are so nice and clean don't mess them up with spot lights spend your money on a new bumper strip and some more powerful low/high beam globes!

    why dont you get h.i.d lights for the existing lights you can get them in high and low beem or single beem for twin light setups note they are illigal to put high and low bulbs in lights that you cant adjust from inside the car im told but its a 15 min job to fit them in or put the old globes back in makes a huge difrence the car will still look the same you can get them for around $70 for a 55 wat sys dosent sound like much but belive me big dif money well spent look them up on ebay i did wont go back to the old globes unless mr plode gets me
