Lights look good @kevin450. Are they the black, smoked chrome, or smoked black versions? They look like the black ones, is that right?

Out of interest Kevin, how much did the cover cost and do they do different cars?
The steering wheel in my Audi S3 is looking a bit tatty and if the price is good its something I might consider.

Hi it cost £36.82 they do all makes and design log into AliExpress it’s a little complicated but basically go on chat with them about your requirements and they will let you know in a couple of days if they can do it for you then order your chat is linked in with the order then 3 to 4 weeks delivery time I was impressed that the seams where spot on with the steering wheel

Looks good
Wish I could get one in Grey.
You can ask them just set up a chat with them if you have a picture of your requirement they will let you know if they can do it. I have very impressed with dimensions quality for the price. Just takes a few hours to instal the learning curve. But the satisfaction you did it

Any more info @kevin450? Did you just glue the leather over the existing cover?
My arm rest needs doing, it's got a big crack down the middle but no-one seems to do them in anything other than black, but I have blue interior.
Hi used no no nonsense contact adhesive over the exsisting arm rest leather and trimmed to suit so you go ahead and get blue leather recommend 1mm thick leather nappa leather is to thin I went for large off cuts had enough to to do 3 arm rests

I changed out the old candle bulbs for these...
Before
After
its still daylight so couldn’t tell if they’re any brighter, but they certainly look much more modern.
Just changed them on mine took 20 mins no errors they are so much brighter than the original candle no experience at night driving yet but G P had no problems easy cheap upgrade and quick delivery two days. Brown is negative

I’ve just taken it out for a spin down some dark country roads near me. What a massive improvement with a very bright, white light and good spread. I must have passed 30 cars coming in the opposite direction and no one flashed me so I don’t think they’re dazzling.
They were very easy to install, simply plug in in place of the originals. The terminal is marked + and - and the - connects to the brown wired side of the original connector. The hardest part was getting the headlights back in but just takes a bit of jiggling around. No canbus errors, no flickering. They come with a 3 year guarantee so hopefully will last for a while. Pound for pound I’d say it’s the best mod I’ve done on the car as with the original headlamps I never felt confident driving in the dark.
Just ordered them seems a low cost easy upgrade

Replaced my AOS and the boot and the two clips just a shout for Porsche dealerships saved £30.00 compared to design 911 prices just as an example. They are always worth a call for prices and helpful.
