Having had a short night time drive home from work, I would definitely recommend these as a relative cheap and easy HID retrofit.
After reading the reviews on forums I know they might not be the best projectors but they certainly aren't the worst. The light output is very impressive indeed. At some point I will find somewhere quiet so I can stop and take some photos to demonstrate. I am so pleased with the results. At last I have a lude with decent headlights!!!! :D

This is what the lights look like fitted.

And the light output. Apologies for the quality of the photos. The pics don't really do the lights justice.

I just want to ask,

When you want to put the headlights back together, what seal do you use??

Some of write-ups on PreludePower they say you can just re-heat and put it back together. Is that enough? or do I need a sealant? :arrow: :idea: :idea:

Butyl rope is what I used. Yanks recommend some Nissan sealent but it's £30 and it's identical to butyl rope.

Try any glass-related/glazing place. If I'd seen this earlier I would've got you a roll from work but I'm not in for a few days now.
