Need to see the results fella. I used a orbit buffer on mine. Also the Presta swirl remover is a fantastic product although not cheap. U have to buy the correct pad to use with the swirl remover so works out about £50 including the backing plates. Search on google for it. Also demos on YouTube.

Polishing results.

I didn't get a before pic but they were quite scratched.

 

 

 

I fit them to a spare set of headlights just to test fitting and the clipped straight on, no modification needed at all. I'm going to use some silicon sealer to fit to the car though just to make sure.

Looking at that image it made me wonder, can you just fit an LED side light into the standard bulb holder, or is this part of a complete LED/HID ready replacement unit?

That's a standard headlight with a clear lens off some angel eyes on them if I'm not mistaken....  I'm mot sure on LED side light bulbs as mine are rings.

As alz said this is a standard calibra headlights with a clear headlight lense and yes you can fit the led side lights into the standard bulb holder. I have a different type in mine to the pictures with 4 flat leds and there really bright.

Think they might be mate there super bright and its not just a pin prick of light they give off a good spread and they are the same colour as the 6000k hids I have fit.
