Some other mod options.

Would something like these be OK as an upgrade ?



I'd rather avoid strip DRLs as they look a little boy racer for me

Secondly do Xenon bulbs use significantly more or less power than conventional Halogen for the extra light they make ? I suspect George's headlights are not the brightest.

EDIT - PS tyres now at 45PSI, may back down to 40 again as the ride is very harsh given the short wheel base. Handling and grip are fine in wet or dry weather.
The leds make a world of difference, ESPECIALLY inside the car. I have changed all my interiors and trunck lights over to LED.

WHat are the bulb types in your headlamps? d2s, 9005, 9006 etc???
single bulb w/ hi/lo
two bulbs, 1 hi, 1 lo?
