I got my lights yesterday in the mail. They look pretty nice & are pretty small/stock looking :mrgreen:

Image

I also bent & re shaped the plate bracket back into stock form. As the previous owner liked it reducing the radiator flow :/

& here they are fitted :mrgreen:

Appear to light up the road fairly well.

Much better than the fog lights in the NB8B and likely more useful.
