Would be nice to see if someone did try it. What I understood is that with this kit you can convert main OR dipped beam, which would be expensive if you want to do both. I guess you should have to buy 2 kits. My only concern is that probably it is not road legal (?) so every MOT it needs to be removed. Not ideal.

Bushman Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 to be legal, I believe the light units must be driver adjustable and must have washer jets. that's why I went down the Nighteye route for both dips and mains. really happy with this choice too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cito Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Guys, today they are arrived and I could not wait longer, so I am just back from the garage. I chucked them on and....I am super super happy! I just switched on the car and the lights waiting for some flickering or error message, but nothing like so! The light is a beautiful and omogenous white. Unfortunately I can’t say more because I did not have a spin, but tomorrow very early morning I am off to the airport so I can test them in the dark. So far I can only recommend them. Ah, just a thing: they come in pairs, so if you want to have a go, just order 1 as quantity. I ordered 2 and now I have a spare 🙂 Cheers, Andrea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Popular Post Beanoir™ Posted March 8, 2019 Founder Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2019 I've just put the NightEyes in my Impreza, they are a really nice lamp I have to say and work well, the only problem I have which isn't applicable to the Cayman is I don't have projector lenses so the beam pattern is not great. But, i'm looking to do a conversion to Projectors but using the NightEye lamps because they are really good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
