I can't send you a follow up pm to the one I just sent so here is what I wanted to tell you in regards to my headlight setup:
The ebay seller I purchased my lights from is philsan123. He does not appear to have any listed at present, however I am sure that he would have access to some. I would recommend putting in some of his 90w hid look-a-like globes while your at it. In my lights, I just have some above average kelvin rating globes that do the job nicely.
I hope that this will help you. If I may say so, my headlights look really cool at night

Even the ricers like them

You know me Mick, I am putting a 'rice' engine into my FB

They only have the LED's on when I have them on as parker lights. They look normal when used as headlights, although they do have superwhite globes in them.

Hey Andrew,
Yes mine are BMW ones, they came as a complete kit including all OEM wiring and connectors. The thing is that they say they need to be installed behind the lense, Do H4 lights have a removable lense? Do I need the special chrome reflector? I can post up the wiring diagram if you want but it has fitment for about 5 different models and this is very confusing. Will I just have to wire the starters up to the existing wiring and insert the angel LED's inside the lense like I'm making a ship in a bottle? Photo's would be good to see how you wired them up.

Theo, our lights are completely different. I think you have a task infront of you in making a ship in a bottle

My units came pre made, and do not have removeable lenses, however the reflector/ bowl of the light is plastic so could be cut open and glued shut again.

Should be back on the weekend. I am very close to getting the mags on too, I will be getting them machined soon so that they fit on. Car has been put back to stock springs, but after the machining, perhaps the lowered springs can go back on

Dropped the front rims off for machining and will have them back next week along with the car. Im looking forward to driving it, but not in the rain, because I hate cleaning it after

It is costing $400 have to have the front wheels machined, and $2500 for all of the last 2 months work on the car. Thats my update until I get it back, then it will be getting some paint hopefully from Blacky's mate or a friend who does mini trucks.
