Sadly US lights do not work on EU cars I believe

Nope, plus the connectors are different too.

But like Ian said, they can be modified. I have modified original US lights in mine:

don't know, but i do know of a mustang that got imported from USA, had lights converted, and it had to have a SVA test

I think sequential lights are illegal. Ask a police man for their answer... :Lol:

Bet he has no idea

I think sequential lights are illegal.

The cool thing with this mod is that it contains a switch that disables the sequential function and makes the entire unit go back to EU spec.

Although you can get both red rears and front DRLs, they are both pricey and a bit of a faff and are far from being an oem solution.

The headlights have to be baked to open them up to install the DRLs, for example.

One UK owner has had his converted and is having issues with them which, when the guy that converted them is a couple of thousand miles away, is a pain in the arse.

I have seen a couple of people on Facebook now that can do the front lights. Also someone on there who has done his own sequential set up. Not sure if he's on here tho. I'm hoping he will make a plug and play kit at some point and then all we need to do Is replace the rear bulbs. Not sure how easy that is?

On black cars i have owned previously it was always a popular mod to fit coloured bulbs and clear lenses. On my shadow black i have been complimented a couple of times on them. Think on a black car the clear lenses look great.
