If anyone fancies a challenge...

I bought an ebay kit last year and finally got round to fitting it (or trying to) last week. Everything was OK until I went to fit the buckets into the car & found they didn't fit too well... I also found that I would need to secure the buckets with a couple of screws at the front, which would mean they would need the perspex covers to be removable in order to get the badge panel off (important in an S2 as that's where the air filter lives..). I had planned to bond the covers to the buckets. Ideally it would be best to fix the lights just to the brackets attached to the badge panel & last bolt on the wing/inner wing

So not great, but if you were happy with that compromise, & fancied doing some cutting & re-working of the buckets I guess it would work. The kit comes with two Hella lights, mounting hardware, two buckets and two perspex covers (formed over the metal pop-up light covers).

(I've ordered the expensive alternative... http://gtpheadlights.com/index.html)

The covers fit quite well

But the buckets don't

This side was the best fit, but still not great ( Note the big silver washers were fitted as part of my attempt to pull the bucket into a decent fit)

£100 delivered for the lot, which is less than the cost of the Hella lights..
