  1. Is this to put on the existing light? Sorry if I sound stupid but I know f*k all about xenons. One guy told me you can put bulbs in which produce a white light (like a fake xenon lol) and one goes you need to fit a ballast kit thing which powers the xenon lights. Someone explain lol. These yellow lights should of been factory xenons
  2. my headlights are the yellowish (normal) lights and seriously you can tell the difference at night. My wifes range rover has got xenons and they truly make things clearly visible. have any of you lot upgraded your bulbs? if so which ones are to go for? Are proper xenon headlights easy to fit? (plug and play or do you have to mess around with things like ''ballasts'') any ideas? thanks
  3. Cheers lads did as instructed. Left sensor at Back ain't making no ticking noise at all. Gonna search ebay for one. The forums are coming in use!! Lol
  4. Just seen yours 'Y13HYA' Is yours lpg converted? What's performance like?
  5. Today I was reversing and noticed that there's no "beep, beep" assistance I get from the sensors. From what I can remember, I have not hit it (unless I was p*ssed and didn't realise). Is one sensor gone? So all are not working? Or is it something more geeky. I want em sorted because Ive got use to relying on em lol.

    Alot of welcomes... cheers peeps. X5 is p*ssin me off as we speak!!
  7. Lol then you should be fine. By the way am I the only one who has put shaped rear plates on a x5? (Its the cheapest mod I could do) lol
  8. Lol and the sound! Cant beat em. You must have a fuel card to abuse Christian!!! I seriously would of got a petrol but the mpg put me off so the 3.0d it is.
  9. haha yh. jeez 4.6is? no wonder you havnt got it anymore, bet it was thirsty. my bro had a 4.8is 54 reg one, great car but it spent more time at shell than it did on roads
  10. Right then, received my rear DB9 shaped number plates from http://www.angelplates.net yesterday and fitted them after work. After doing a bit of research I found out that these fit in that middle area and kinda go with the look of the car so i went ahead and bought some. TRUST ME IN MY OPINION I THINK THESE LOOK GOOD! It looks like these plates were made for that area. However they are intended for the Aston Martin DB9 but luckily they fit and look like your car came with these from new. Anyone else added these? Let me know how they loooook. (car is now in for two screens being fitted in into the headrests for the kids with dvd system n free view, professional job, no argos ones and also a rear parking camera all in colour, will update) sorry for poor night quality pic. Cheers.
