You don't need a jack to get to the lower Clips on mine, can reach under and pop them out.

Needle Nose Pliers and/or a Terminal Screwdriver - push the centre pin of the clip inwards (upwards) and it'll pop through, the clip then comes off with little argument - try not to lose the pins or the clips become useless!

They look a bit boy racer to me, probably because the chromes matched the silver paintwork well.

I think mine would suit the fully darkened lamps... Hmmm.
Yours being Silver too helps me see how it looks, quite like it!

they do look allot neater if that makes any sense lol, not sure how you would go about getting the lens off with them being plastic?, drill holes just bellow the seals and saw round?

I thought they looked weird but couldn't think why.
But now ive noticed it the new lamps have had the chrome surrounds inside the headlight painted black to match the rest.
Did you split them or were they done by the seller??

the seller split them, im sure he said that he couldn't separate them by heat and had to drill holes  , I think that's what he told me anyway

I don't want to try with mine as they may potentially be an expensive cock-up if they go wrong due to being the Xenon units.
I've researched and seemingly they aren't the same as the Halogen units unfortunately, so I can't attempt it on a set of those and then transfer the lighting & levellers across.
