Glad you're pleased, but keep your old bulbs, as you might struggle come MOT time!

woop woop steve your the man just fitted me xenons all done seem a lil loose tho so a spacer is defo required as said in previous posts

[Turbo_Steve]

If you use the plastic washers that came in the poackaging and trim them down a little, you can put them behind the HID bulb and use it to improve the clamping.

ive done that which is ok for a temp fix but was gonna make a 9mm spacer simalar to the stock part wish me luck for i aint got a clue

[VR4Kaos]

might butcher the stock spacer but not before i get a pair of replacments hey

I wouldn't bother, Karl: the huge spacers only need to provide a bigger clamping surface, which is what the washer is doing. Unless there is any movement in the bulb.....I can't see the benefit? You need to it to be as hard-up against the reflector as possible anyway!
