Why a sixty pound fine? Are you planning on fitting them on the back?!!

Ive had them in the 80 for a while now, will post some pictures up so you can see what they look like.
There is a noticeable difference when driving at night, that being simply that the road in front is yellow instead of white!!

sounds magic and cant wait to see the photos!!
not kerb crawling unless it's in paris with bolly
but i'm sure that a good constable would be
swift with his ticket book for such fun and nonsense!
(the bulbs NOT the kerb crawling!!)

If I remember the MOT manual correctly, yellow headlights are fine, so long as the other light in the pair is also yellow, ie you've got to have 2 yellow headlights, not a white and a yellow.
