6000k bulbs have a tint of blue and are bright as fk.. that being said I would want them for my car, but they blind everyone.

im quite the unlucky person.. i tried changing over the parkers first and didnt click the globe in correctly so when i put the like.. socket back into place.. the globe fell out and is now stuck in the little hole thing.. fml :/ so will have be taking the front bar off and pulling out the headlights... to make everything just that little bit easier.. i have big hands :(

only thing is.. im not exactly sure how the front bar comes off and how the headlights come out.. ill look on here for a guide and just cross my fingers, if anyone knows how or knows a guide or whatever would be greatly appreciated :)

hahahahaha the exact same thing happened to me, biggest pain in the ass

theres screws under each of the wheel arch and obviously the grill too - thats how the front bar comes out then theres i think 3 or 4 bolts that secure the lights in place, one on either side from memory and one behind - the ones behind are really hard to get to and you may have to remove your battery if its that side but i seemed to get around it and not make more work for myself lol good luck

well now atleast i dont feel so stupid..

i actually did something right for the first time!! i took the bar off within 20 mins and had all the lights tested and adjusted within the hour.. then just put the bar back on.. i would recomend doing to because it is far easier then ####ing around trying to fit ur big hands into tiny places lol

all is well now will put pick up tomoz coz its now 2 oclock in morning and i really cbf lol cheers for all the help guys..

update on mods ect...

#### all will be happening soon lol apart from tinted tails and then saving for exhaust.. tyres still have plenty of tread so not even comtemplating rims.. and i cant make up my mind which ones i want anyway.. ve supersports in black mabi.. who knows.. 150k service due soon.. i just love spending money on the car :/
