Default Blobeye de tango to standard swap

As title, your lights must be in excellent condition.



This is the second set I have done and they have never let any moisture in.
Anyone interested please get in touch

I'm looking for someone to come to me and do the swap.

I'm in the West Midlands.

Pictures of your lights on this thread too please.

Meguires do a polishing kit that can restore them but you need to seal them periodically.
Put some pictures up

Thanks,
More pics on the spec link below.
I only have one set.
Just looking for a straight swap for the cleanest standard pair I can get, would be a bonus if someone was handy with a spanner though... Lol

1200 grit wet and dry then some compound and polish and the lights will look like new.

Unfortunately the fellow that agreed to swap has broken one of his headlights.

So, this is back on.

I'm near Wolverhampton

If they are super clean and free of damage then I may be interested, a couple of close up pictures would help.

Postage may work.

You send yours, I fit them and return mine.

You would have to cover postage costs though if your ok with that ?

Can we trust them to not get damaged
