the lights are old depo with halogen angel eyes, if u mean dipped/running lights with just the angel eyes then they aint all dat but look good, the xenon main lights were a huge improvement over the previous standard halogens.

just a quick question to those of you who have used similar h@R applications, my eibachs were sent with the special bolts that fit the spacer to the hub, and then a full set of standard bolts to attach wheel to spacer. i was told i could use either my own so i did. but they were slightly longer by sight, im just wondering what the factory length bolts are as the front spacers have 25mm so if the stick bolts are longer would that not pose a problem. did take it past a tyre place and they checked and said they were fine, just me getting paranoid. just wondering what people did with theres. thanks

im thinking the fronts looked too pushed out, i went 25 front and 30 rear, and am thinking 20mm front may have been better , 20mm i think would have used longer wheel bolts, 25mm and above are type 7. i bought the car completely standard 3.0 diesel sport 2002. i have done the following:
full hartge bodykit (had to get rid of the running boards), carbon fibre grill, door pillars, and rear spoiler, lowered on eibach prokit front , rear lowered through the ecu,
custom remap, depo xenon from halogen upgrade, smg steering wheel hooked up to the tip tronic (really good mod), 22 hartge classic alloys with contitental all round.
remus cat back full exhaust system (pain in the ass to keep clean), changed the interior trim to cosmos black. the last thing will be a media headrest install but nothing too expensive, and i have a jl stealth sub and amp to fit but considering what speakers to upgrade with it.
