I like them. Look perfect. i much prefer the round ones set at an angle. Id say youve got it about spot on.

I like it. I see you have them a bit higher than I did - this is a good thing - I forgot about the minimum height thing and had to lift the rear end on the springs and run high tyre pressures to get through the SVA

Cheers

You will need some stick on reflectors too - mine fell off shortly after SVA

Look nice mate, only my personal opinion but I like the fog light in the centre but obviously completely up to you, after all it's your car!! :-)

I assume the number plate light is going just above the number plate.

Also the reflectors will need adding.

Whatever you choose I reckon it looks good, nice job.

Rich.

I like it. My own preference would be for an offset fog, just as you have it. Symmetry is over-rated! Nice high-level brake light, too.

I have 16" wheels 45 prof

my protechs are new
and are lowered so that there is about 3 lines of thread left on the shock bottom

my light sockets same as yours mike are 7cm from the bottom of arch to bottom lip of light housing

this makes around 350mm total gap which is correct for sva

although even on almost this setting which should be low theres a hands gap between wheel and arch so it best soften a bit cause it looks shite
