As fitted to mini facelift? Is this a good deal?

Looks to me like a mini-facelift projector ... doesn't say if its HID or not ... ballast boxes are very expensive.

I've just had a complete new unit .....  £160 ... :(

You need to clarify whether they are true HID's with ballst boxes etc or simply standard projectors....

I am presuming that, for a 1997 car, all I want are standard projectors?

Dont presume.....  You work hard for your cash, don't part with it too easily.....   :y

At that price it'll be a standard projector, and yes if you don't have factory HIDs then you want normal projector lights as the HID retro-fit will be a nightmare.

Agreed ;)

avoid, not actual product shown.

Pre-facelift lights could turn up, and as stated they will fit 97 car

I agree and disagree  ;D ;)

Fitting HID's to FF standard.....will be a nightmare.....you need self leveling headlamp units/washers and a change of wiring loom.....to me that sounds a nightmare.....maybe not to you.

Fitting a HID kit....without doing anything about the self leveling and washers, i agree is easy  :y

You could ask Wayne......as he's just ordered some.....as to what turns up  :y

Factory fit setup? I'll be very impressed if that's the case, the wiring setup is quite different, as is the levelling system. Retro-fitting HIDs using a kit that taps into the existing halogen loom is easy enough, but a completely different approach to retro-fitting a factory HID system with all the wiring changes that entails.
