Congrats mate. How long have you had the car?

 

[madasahatter]

It will be a year on 5th of may, it had 2 advisories last year both rear tyres.  Ichanged them straight away for Falken 914s A hard wearing tyre.

Just tyres and servicing then - sweet!

I replaced front Discs and pads ,Rear pads and recently did the handbrake shoes. I did a full service on the brakes due to the problems

that they have. Slider pins and rubber seals, my next job will be the spark plugs once i have purchased them. Car has done 53,500 miles so due at 60,000.

I fitted 5000k Hid bulb kit in the headlights and 4,300 yellow in the fogs with LED side light bulbs. I took bumper off to fit the fog kit easy job. Really loving the car

at the moment. Iv had 2 skoda Vrs mazda nissan audi 2 mitsubishi , a couple of fords Bmw biggest money pit iv owned. I tend to keep cars a while.

 well done , like to see pictures of bulbs u used what they look like in dark,might consider changing them on mine too as not very happy with mine, my is220d had better lights.was it just bulbs u change or anything else 

[madasahatter]

No i fitted Hid ballasts. I fitted super canbus ballasts with an asic chip. { German } really pleased with them no flicker what so ever.

The fogs are a really nice yellow, purchased in uk about 15.00 if i can remember for the pair.

[bobmc]

Is this a standard to xeon lighting upgrade?

I thought this wasn't legal in the UK....

 

[madasahatter]

Yes halogen to hid done it on loads of cars, no trouble with mot. A lot brighter and look better to boot.

[bobmc]

Have you got a link to what you installed?

 

[madasahatter]

No i dont have a link but all jobs are easy to do. There is plenty on utube on fitting Hid kits, i removed bumper to do the fogs as easier and not a big job.

Brakes are another easy job to do. If i remember there is a how to on the forum. Biggest job with headlight bulbs, is removing enging covers and airbox.
