Separate front sidelights

Looking at fitting some 5 3/4 round headlight unit to my seven but do not have sidelights built in what separate sidelight units are everyone using.
Seen these but want to know what else is available.

Is your car already on the road? as if it isint i doubt they would be SVA compliant/ E marked

Yes car is already on the road just changing from 7 inch lights to 5 3/4 but messed up and got units without a sidelight.

No that is relevant, as it is on the road!, but aslong as the angles etc are met, and the brightness is similar to that of an E marked light theres no reason they wouldnt pass IVA.

A bit more expensive but I quite like the look of these for sidlights.

strictly speaking your car should comply with the requirements of the SVA/IVA at all times and altering after the test to a standard that does not comply is illegal.....now i know the chance of being caught is limited....... how ever i do know that some police forces are getting wise to this practice and are doing checks on some kits they stop. the most common fine is for illegally placed headlights.
