I believe they are FK smoked headlights, but only come in left hand drive fitments.
Matty G and DNA23 both have them as well, although you can get DEPO's much cheaper from eBay, check VegasPhil's garage to see them.

It isn't a fsail to fit LHD lights, but it is a bitch to get the beam direction correct, as they are meant to point to the right, ie, then wrong way for British roads.
Matty G had a fair bit of trouble with his, and had to adjust them loads, including the light unit itself, to get them to point correctly.

this looks like them to me, but obviously is a bit awkward, as they are in Germany!

where are you from in Cardiff mate? Try popping along to Halfords, they have some good deals on wheels at the moment, BK166 with 195/45/R15 in Corsa fitment for about £330 I think, very good price.

The lights were FKs and are LHD. They are MOT fails because they point the wrong direction and they don't have the beam lines on the lenses, but they look bloody fantastic.
The wheels were Arospeed RS GT's in Hyper black.

I was almost perfectly correct, the only bit I got wrong was hyper black, I said Gunmetal grey!

I'm in Canton and my nearest Halfords is up by the 24hr Tesco on Western Ave....I might have a looksie but alloys are my last priority in all honesty...starting with a respray and working down (respray, full new original bumpers arches, suspension/alloys together.
EDIT: Oh, tell a lie, I want a K&N Induction kit or Twin 40's, not decided yet 'til I know how much funds I got.

I know the western Avenue store well mate, on Excelsior Road.
reason - I worked there for 18 months while I was doing my A-level's, now I'm working in the Swansea store while I'm at Uni.
Unfortunately, they don't have much of a range there, as it is only a small store, but if you see a guy called Ross on Ripspeed, he does know his stuff!
Say hi to him from me!
