Got em sitting in my room for the last 3 months.

Do I dare? I have heard they are tricky with the electric height adjustment for the headlights?

Mine failed on headlight-aim when I put Morettes on the night before my MOT (probably doesn't sound like a good idea, but Morettes with slightly-off headlight-aim was going to be a better choice than a standard headlight with a hole the size of a golf-ball in the glass).

5 minutes for each headlight and that's in the dark with your eyes closed.

Piece of cake, and aligning the beams is as hard as pointing your car at a wall at night at having a play with the thumbscrews. If you own the wall, go there tonight with some chalk, put a line on the floor where your wheels are and a line on the wall where the beams hit and you'll be able to line your new ones up exactly right

To re-align the beams, make a mark on a wall - in chalk maybe - where the old beam is.
With the new lights in, align the beams to the original mark on the wall.
