led lighting
Hi Dunc
If you want 2 sets of these can you email your details to info@mgsmotorsport.com with your details and I can get this organised for you.
As for mounting them use two piecies of aluminium flat bar about 8 inches long and around 4 inches wide and it will slip under the front grill you can then screw the flat bar down onto the bumper behind the grill this is how mine are mounted and I have no problems.
If you look in my gallery Im sure there are pictures
cheers

Dunc here are the pictures, sorry about quality taken on phone. Remove grill and look for X bars in front of radiator. At the bottom corners there is a rectangular hole. I use this with a bracket I had made up, bracket bolts through rectangular hole with re-enforcing behind. Grill then fits back in place.
Down side is spot lights have to be removed to remove the grill, but that should not take long.
All I need now is the live feed for the main beam to switch relays then the lights will go on.

Rectangular hole bottm left next to head light.

Bracket needs to be cleaned up and edges rounded off before being painted and away you go. No drilling into car required what so ever .MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange

Yes agreed but in all honesty it only takes a couple of minutes to unbolt the spots. Hopefully a headlight buld does not go that often.
Adrian did you get the reply about the headlights and have you got any ideas for picking up a live feed fror main beam please ?MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange
