Raybrigs will fit a uk car but........ not straight out of the box.

The uk car has the light level adjusters which get in the way of the lights and mean that they don't fit properly. The easiest thing to do is get some light cowlings from an import and replace the uk one for the import ones that dont have the light leveling on them. The other option is potentially cheaper but requires more work as it involves chopping some of the cowling.

Do a search on here for raybrigs or check the knowledge base as I'm sure this has been covered in great detail before.

ps I cheated and basically gave my raybrigs and HID's to 3s and said fit them please :whistle:

Get in touch with them before they send it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The reflectors need to be for right hand drive cars as the US ones point the wrong way. They are marked for alot of US cars so double check with them before you get a set you can't use.
