I would of thought place them at each end of the lower grill
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

not been on for afew weeks due to various reasons. anyways i got the proper kit for my lights from halfords and spent afew hours fitting it. Whilst i was doing that, i took the coolant bottle off to be cleaned and also because i wanted to flush the block and radiator.
ive got pics of the bottle below..

its all clean and looking nice with fresh coolant. no pics, of it as i forgot to take some before i fitted it back on.

Not much done to my car due to work and ongoing personal issues. The only update is, i had to replace the headlight bulbs due to one blowing.
So bought these.. The bulbs in the packet are the old bulbs.

The new ones have a blue tip and seam to be loads brighter with a hint of blue to the light that is cast. happy with them

Forgot to mention that afew days after fitting my cleaned coolant bottle, I decided I wanted to replace one of the pipes that go into the bottle at the top. Whilst removing this I managed to snap a tube off the bottle with the pipe attached. So bought a new bottle and new (standard) pipes. My car is running well at the moment, just due a service in January ready for mot time. Updates to come soon.
