Default Halo eye projector fog light conversion

just did that yesterday with my buddy Daniel

3" halo eye projector fog light with Green ring

3000K yellow-color HID bulb with ballast

removal the left side was easy but right side will a bit more time-consuming since the wind shied fluid tank is leaving a very tight space to work with.

then we found out our universal kit has nothing to mount . we ended used some soft metal strip to secure between the light and the original screw holes behind the bumper

2 hours of labor with lots of friendship spent

In Europe that is an indicator that flashes with the turn signals, not a side marker like the ones fitted to the bumper corners. Just to clear up any confusion you understand.

It's OK I just thought I'd do a bit of Clarification because you called it a side marker.

On my UK X308 I have the US Spec red & orange side markers fitted which really make the car stand out in the crowd. Not many cars here have corner markers you see.

hey vincent question for you. Even though it says that these halo lights aren't compatible for the jaguar did you buy them anyway and they fit? I have a green 1997 jaguar xjr and was wondering even though it says it didnt fit, its fit though? and do you personally recommend these to get in my car.
