Went through this discussion around 2 years agod when I proposed putting them on mine. The general concensus was that it would look pants. Also you have to get the Angel Eyes that actually have the RHD pattern on them.

In the end I went for the Crystal Halogen jobbies on my car (which is no Jon_s3's car) These looked pretty cool and made a nice change to the variety out there. The Best light I ever used of these types were the Wipac Quadoptic lights, they also have a nice rounded profile. The Ring ones have a very square profile and I didn't think much of Hella.

But the Crystal Halogens looked the part, especially when I fitted Ice Blue LED Side lights and Platinum White Bulbs.

Best upgrade the wiring as well if you plan to use big bulbs.

i have already upgraded all that as put in halogen bulbs a few months back with all relays etc.
I have found some nice lights which have completely clear lens's and set up for r/h drive cars as also have a mini, they look indentical to current ones but much more modern.
as they fit i will get them and see how it goes, if rubbish i'll put them on the mini.

thanks wildfire!!

Those will be the Crystal Halogens. They have a clear lens and the lens pattern on the reflector.

But watch out if you put 90W bulbs in the reflectors melt.

If I cant see I just put main beam on and the driving lights..... figure I am too low to bother others anyway and to be honest I have never found mine too bad....that said maybe they have already been done before I got the car like most things
