Also try their eBay page as it used to be cheaper :happy2:

^^^^ not seen them on eBay for a while now. The exchange rate isn't helping either, £307 inc postage from The Kunzmann site.  :scared:

Fitted mine today and well chuffed with them (thanks for the advice on that Nathan  :happy2:). The Valeo units make such a difference not only to the appearance of the car but also to the light output and especially the indicators which are a MASSIVE improvement over the standard ones.

Yes they are brilliant :happy2:

I was lucky enough to get them of Ed on here for a good price.

If you get them Ed suggested you turn off the cold diagnostics using vcds to maxamise the led life.

Did I see on a previous post that you had removed the fog reflector completely on yours and replaced it with a red bulb? I've been trying to find the correct red bulb and came across this one (below link), any ideas??  :happy2:

That's a good point and the very reason I've PM'd him today.  :smiley:

Well I didn't personally remove the lens, it's how it came from Ed, but yes the bulb looked like the one in the link. Has a purple pearlescent look but comes on red :happy2:

Wow that’s an expensive bulb!

Also Ed did recommend turning off the cold diagnostics for the rear brake lights and indicators as they are LED's, which I did. Not really necessary for the reverse/fog lights as they are normal bulbs.
