Miaooow!!

Just kidding of course. I love the f's equally as much as the rest of the marque and we did have one in the family, until my daughter crashed it. There's pics of it in my album - click click.


As for the proposed new lights.. well you can see from the pic below that the 4300k bulbs (use your imagination) shouldn't dazzle too much comparatively.



Anyway, not wishing to cause any hassle, I have decided not to fit this mod to my car after all. But, seeing as I have it coming, I will show how to put it on prior to immediately removing it forever and ever. Amen.

I survived the lakes run. Nothing can scare me now Clive.

Oh well, there's one way to find out if you're right.. Here we go...





















Make sure the brown return wire goes towards the bottom when you fit it.



I'll take more pics when darkness falls. However, I let the car run for over an hour and nothing was more than luke warm to the touch. The old halogen bulbs that I replaced were very hot though and they had only been on for a minute or so.
