Cheers, ive had a quick search about on the net and it looks to be that they are H8's. She got stopped by police for having it not working

big bright xenon in the middle working fine, little side light not working and they stopped her and said its not safe at night.

That's a bit of a joke. If it was just a normal little sidelight they wouldnt have even noticed.

Funny you should say this, everyone who's seen it since cant tell the difference.

Changes the front end IMO.

Not without it's cost though, all the bits you can't see cost more than the bits you can.
