i want to sit the lights behind the line of the bumper (like the last photo), but what do we think on style and positioning?

for some reason they don't look symetrical, but they actually are, think its because the headlight panel isn't sitting centred. lights are both within 400mm of the edge of the car, as per IVA manual
think it could work pretty well thats not the bumper i'm goi ng to use either, i've got a better one that fits a bit better, so this ones just for testing

i've got led back lights to put on, but if the 'frenching in' works, i might want to do the backs like in this mini (remembering the visibility angles atc)

You may fail IVA on visibility angles if you recess them as deep as that. IIRC you need to be able to see at least half the lens area throughout the requisite angles. Looks neat though!

I think they look a bit odd because they are not parallel to the centre-line and each other. Location on the bumper is fine.

yeah, they're sitting down a bit in the holes, but the holes are in the centre of the bumper
