I dont like the look of the Rogue lights though, they dont look like they come up far enough and the round lenses jarr with the angular pop up casings. Rectangular Ferarri/NSX style look much better IMO

Unclip it, or paint black ?

there would be nothing to hold the light in place if removed

That's a nice finish fella. I still personally prefer the rounds of the Rogue units but they are cracking looking nonetheless. :thumleft:

Nicely done!

I've still got the GTO lights sat around the garage so may still put them on one day.

Is there any difference to the pitiful light output of the standard units?

I'm gonna do a 180, as a pair they look spot on as is. Much better than the originals. :thumleft:

Good to know the light output should be better.

I wasn't even going to bother changing to the lowrises, but the standard light output is terrible

I sent an email to the German guy producing me and everything has quietened down now, so he is almost finished my own set, minus LHD headlights.

I'm still a little stuck on what headlight units to get though. It would be nice if Hella, Raybrig, Autopal or others made a unit that would fit.

Anyone any ideas? Would prefer to buy a brand new set as opposed to old set from GTO etc
