:lol:

How many times have you seen my car Arran ?

I've had them fitted since I got it in 2006 :shock:

My OCD wouldn't let me BUTCHER :twisted: my original headlight buckets :roll:

The white ones in the link are near invisible when turned off because the LED filament chain is clear and blends into the glass face of the lamp. I think it was only Dan I showed at Mini meet with them turned on as no-one has ever noticed before.
You can get green, blue or red but that would be just too "circus" for me

The OCD Guide to Vehicle works:

Modification: Term used for the fitment of Non OEM parts or accessories using original mounting points and fixings. Totally reversible without trace. Example, fitting Spax shock absorbers.

Butchery : Term used for any invasive modification that requires cutting, drilling, or bending of the original parts.

Muppetry: Term used for the act of Butchery using inappropriate parts or materials whilst thinking it’s a great job and encouraging others to follow!

Ohhh, now I'm really confused!
Are my USA lights (no reason to believe not original) flat beamed?
Do I need to change them at all?

In order to pass the UK MOT the car will need to have a 'sidelight', it can be achieved by either, replacing the headlights for units which incorporate the sidelight.

OR

Fit a set of Lada Indicators which incorporate the sidelight (this is what Dan did on his car)
