Default Which is better...

With Fog covers...


Without Fog covers...


I think without looks better but my son thinks with them looks better. What do you think?

I prefer without and my missus says it looks less sporty with them on so that says it all really. WITHOUT

The first thing I did was buy some covers, I never have them on anymore! Looks very round with them on. I'd take them off but de-tango the front lights for the full effect

Sorry for being thick, but what is "detangoing" a light exactly?

It's just there instead of an orange bulb. JDM's are clear as standard.

When detangoing the headlights, where abouts do i buy the bulbs and is it a straight forward job to do?

I didn't have the ***** to do it myself so I got it done at Scoobybits when they did the MOT, only cost £40 too which I was chuffed with. They painted the existing bulbs rather than charge me for new ones but someone on here was selling the silver bulbs for about £11.

The NASIOC thread for doing them is here...

No mate, they used my lights to de-tango and don't offer them already done on an exchange as far as I know (wouldn't be a bad idea though).
Bulb wise, it shouldn't be hard to track some bulb paint down, i'll see if i can find that other thread where they sold the bulbs.

Found it
https://www.scoobynet.com/private-sa...tor-bulbs.html
Pm him to see if they are still available, he's still an active user and he had some a few months back. Only £10 now too

Edited to add, he's already posted on this thread /\
