will have some smoked depo headlights by end of next week hopefully, was just wondering, is there anything i need to know before fitting them, i heard they are just a straight swap which sounds to good to be true realy, someone told me they may need adjusting, can anyone shed some light on that please!

get some silicone and just basicly seal the edges again, my passenger side one absolutly pissed water in ( mine were very poorly sealed )
As for them being a streight swap, yeah there easy, you will need to take the airbox out
Take it to an mot place to get them adjusted if your that bothered about it, just make sure the beam isnt stupidly high or to the right

No problems with fitting mine - I didn't even have to remove my air box, just the pipe going from slam panel to the air box.
I also sealed mine, to be sure. Be careful as sealent gets messy 
I got mine adjusted at a local MOT place, cost £10.
They say the light isn't as good from them. I got some Halfords Brilliance 30% brighter bulbs and they're fine (I got new bulbs because one blew in the change over, somehow).
There is also no need to drop the front bumper. I didn't, mainly because I couldn't budge mine, but there is still no need. Lights just need a wiggle and funny angle to them in/out.
I got these ones - great company to deal with and prompt delivery!

i bought mine ages ago, then got my morettes so gave the depos to my brother to put on his sport and then i sold the morettes so took them back off him, never had a problem with them,
