Makes such a difference, nice1... 2minutes!! Wish it was that easy fitting them to a Mk1 172 lol, took like half an hour and very sore hands

 

[TizerB16v]

Look much better now. Where did you get them from?

 

[_Tom]

Looks better

The lights dont seem to fit too well though?

 

[Tom_16v]

Yeah, two minutes but its a lot easier doing them on the new lights. Theyre a lot thinner so plenty of room to get your hand in the back of them.

Got them of eBay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7970397922&ssPageName=MERC_VIC_ReBay_Pr4_PcY_BINLINK

Straight pins for mk1s

Offset pins for mk2s

I know the lights dont fit perfect but there isnt much I can do to them. You dont really notice the gap unless you looking straight at them (like the pics)

Dont get me wrong they look alright. Was just wondering if they didnt fit properly or if it was just me/the pic

 

[JJ!]

[Remedi]

Sweet mate.

Yep!

I know i bought a set for the back aswell. the tops defiantly have gone gold on all of them. Doesnt look top bad but there starting to bubble.

 

[Tom_16v]

Oh well well see how they last....

 

[RacerStu]

So does any body know if the Silvervision ones are better than the Silvatec and dont turn gold or anything?!

 

[Tom_16v]

Most people have said the silvatec ones are better tbh.....

Thats the first story Ive heard of the bulbs going gold.

 

[DazRsi]

Thanks!

Been in the bodyshop a fair few times, no whole panels resprayed as such, just blown over after the work Ive had done.

Going back in in three weeks to get it looking tip top for FCS.....
