Looks very tidy and a good job on the cleaning dept.

What are those sidelight bulbs you have fitted ?

Title: Re: cleaned and polished the mig today
Post by o-meg-a on 05. Jun 2011 at 14:14

the sidelights are SMD LED's. they are flat panel LED's.

These ones have 5 leds, 1 front facing, and 4 all around.

You can get them with all front facing as well

the ones i have a better to use with reflectors, like the omega lights.

Very bright, for very little power, and also very white light. Matching the colour of the HID headlights a bit better.

had them on my last 3 cars.

i bought mine from here

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320671394585&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

these are definitely the cheapest on ebay by far, and of equal quality to any,

Tbh I have no idea what grill it is. Just something I picked up on eBay nice and cheap. The Turbo intercooler badge is a welded on metal one though. So not sure if that helps with original identity.

It looks similar to the cheaper aftermarket ones I've seen about.
its no irmscher lol
