De-Tango'd. colour coordinated, and LEDs installed

Well I managed to get the headlights split today... and 4 hours later I was all done Mr. Green

I used a heat gun to split them in the end (oven not big enough)

Looks amazing mate and well done for a great write up.

When you said "Cut out some tin foil and backed the new crysytal lens reflector " what do you mean plus why do you need wrk on the loom, is this because you used LEDs!

I backed the replacement reflectors with foil because I felt they were a bit transparent and needed something extra.
The guys who got the smoked type would not need to do this.


Yes my LEDs came with loom and relay to dim them when my main beams are on, so I've left it all for a qualified auto electrician to complete . RRS gone

CA Automotive mate

Umniza make them they are the "lites"

I've got the 120mm and 106mm rings but anyone else seriously looking at these I'd now recommend two pairs of 120mm

They'd be far easier to fit as the 106 rings are a tad small RRS gone

These were an American company who have a British wing.

The kit came from the states, then shipped onto me via this uk office.

I'll look for their email address tomorrow (it's at my office)

Here you go Sherlock, they've changed their name slightly so I hope they still can supply the kit.

I dealt with a guy called Phil
