Do these cause any issue with the electrical system, or give any funny warning message regarding bulbs?
Hi mon
I'm pretty sure you can't get the LED lights for the turbos/ wide body cars.
But I am sure someone will sing out to prove me wrong if thats the case

How long have they been on the car? I always see these aftermarket lights full of condensation on other cars so that puts me off although yours do look nice.
About 3 months. No sign of condensation. They obviously aren't as high quality as the OEM lights, but they are pretty good.

Thanks Will. I think you are right - I had a look on e-bay and, even though the item title said "for turbos", the listing details just listed the narrow bodied cars.

It's not something I decided I wanted to do - too chavvy perhaps?

Done right, it's something that could look quite good I reckon but I'll let someone else be the guniea pig should the parts become available.

They look terrible. You should sell them immediately.

I'll take them off your hands if you like, but only as a favour to you....

Joking aside, did you have any issues with rubbing on the arches at all?

This is my new P&J, got to be one of the best condition top spec C4S around (I am biased of course as I bought it!!) It is exceptional though!!

Actually, apart from the eye, I also got a brief case of sore neck as I did a rapid double take as I spotted it down a side street whilst travelling along at warp speed laugh
