Hey Guys,

So I'm in Chicago at the moment for work and I thought it would be rude not to treat myself as I'm over here to some cheap goodies for the X 

I treated myself to a set of these Depo UHP LED headlights
- http://www.ebay.com/itm/151080720748?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 - Did a deal with the seller and got them for $570 + $60 shipping from Cali to Chicago so worked out about £430 all in which I think isn't too bad.

I plan on buying a 55w Slim Hid kit when I'm back for the main beam as I will leave my standard OEM xenons in the headlights and sell them as a whole (message me if you're interested). I was thinking about 100w or 75w HID kit for the High beams.... not sure if they would melt the light fitting though?? Anyone had any experience with those kits?

I also bought some new Philips Lumileds  LED rear lights -

Worked out $198 inc free shipping so around £130 all in. I plan on replacing the Indicator bulbs with LED ones as well as the reverse lights and maybe the fogs if I can find bright enough ones. Oh and not forgetting the side repeaters on the wing too... I'm going LED mad

I will upload some pictures of the car once I'm back and they are fitted )

Thanks!
James

He's back on Friday so hopefully be fitted over weekend as I'm quite interested to in these.

They do seem a bargain price don't they?

Oh really! Had em on mine for 2 years (ish) now and still going strong. Love the slight different look.

Am I right in thinking they would be a simple plug and play in my 2003 facelift?

I know but I'm only now running out of things left to do to the X.

Well ive bitten the bullet and ordered the rear lights.

£170 inc postage from the US. Probably another £30 in import tax when it gets here so £200 all in seems pretty good to me.
