GingerFlame Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Lighting wise use Autobeam! The owner is a member on here. Use YDET10 for 10% off Stay away from CEUK. Their quality is pathetic. People rave about their customer service. Yes they replace lights, but they shouldn't have units failing in the first place... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome thanks mate! Presume the full upgrade kit is the easiest way to go about it? Just out of interest as couldn't see on there but what's the difference between the normal upgrade kit and the premium one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ordered metal dust caps remember to lubricate them before putting them on otherwise they might seize on and be a nightmare to get off. I remember buying some nice but cheap metal caps with a tiny ford emblem on them, not the usual bolt style head which is fugly as hell, but a nice round recessed head. Went to remove one of the covers and wouldn't budge! Oh dear what have I done, all four got wrecked If I'd just thought about a bit of grease!

Yeah, this is exactly why I decided to abandon mine and switch to plastic pretty much straight away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The premium ones are brighter and run cooler due to the metal helping to get rid of heat better The full upgrade kit is the most cost effective way yes :) Don't forget the discount though. Every penny off helps! I've got the LED indicators etc from them and they're brilliant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 They look awful with orange bulbs. 70% of people buy silver bulbs that flash orange which is what I've upgraded from. The LED autobeam units are silver with small orange LEDs but flash orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GingerFlame Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Not illegal in the slightest. As long as the bulb flashes orange (which it does) then it's 100% legal Regardless of what it appears like when turned off as long as its orange when illuminated then it's fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done them on mine and think they look pretty good. Probably going to tint the light housings on the wing mirrors at some point too. Pin stripe looks class, how did you do that mate?

All lights do the same job, and they all have the 2 year warranty. But I believe the premium kit comes with extra bits too.

Pretty much exactly that! I bought 3mm tape so its thin enough to be able to curve without creases but still thick enough to stand out :) Here is the tape I bought, 10m for £2 so plenty in case you mess up at all (like I did first time): https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0042XXM8S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And this is a little video to show you the best way to shape it: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
