Hiya Rich,

As per post 10 by Raj mate http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/index.php/t ... 061.0.html

From HIDS Direct, you will have to drill a hole in the back of the headlight, 22 or 25mm can't remember exactly. I have found that if u need to have the engine running for a few seconds otherwise they don't fire correctly.

Thanks Grumpy, I read that thread this afternoon (and re-read it a further x3 times), The problem starts with the drilling malarkey, I'm stuffed when there are any type of power tool involved (Medical issues with HaVS), was hoping there was a plug n play.
