Anyone one know if this is anyone off the forum offering this service? Very tempted just a bit reluctant to send headlights and payment with nothing in return. Sure they are genuine.

How much do you charge? Do you do LED or HID upgrades as well as I want to have a more modern brighter D4 look. Where are you based to exchange or are you going to any shows soon?

I'm interested. Would you send out a pair before receiving my headlights as it would take my car off the road for about a week which I need for work. I'm not very electrically oriantated so just want something that will plug and play and give a very bright white light and the headlights to have a more D4 look. Dont really know which is best HiD or xenon but don't want to spend a fortune.

Yes, I would send you mine. You fit them, and return your original ones to me
Xenon lights are the same as HID
I will be sticking up a post in the For Sale forum tonight or tomorrow, for all those interested My D3 Build Thread

OK probably opening a can of worms here, but what is the legal situation here?
Obligatory lights have to be type approved. By altering obligatory lights by adding LEDS is the type approval invalidated?
As for charging £35 postage 
Lets just say I have arranged via 24 hour courier signed for service to send an overlarge item weighing 21 kg for a lot less then £35!

De-Tango is not an issue.
Adding "DRL's", who knows 
LED sidelights are also, technically not type approved, but generally accepted as OK, providing they show the correct colours.
From an MOT point of view, I'll report back tomorrow My D3 Build Thread

Just because an obligatory light passes the MOT does NOT make them road legal.
Go on Ebay and you will find items which have these sort of comments
Quote:
These lights are not E Marked but are RHD MOT passing lights.
Go to Vehicle Lighting Regulations which states LEGAL requirements and you will find that OBLIGATORY headlights have to be TYPE APPROVED.
Additional driving lights do not have to be type approved but are for off road use only.
MOT's are for safety reason and does not mean that a vehicle is legal
