Fitted my Rover 45 lights and new bumper over the weekend. Well pleased with the result, makes it look more modern....

Think they go well with the ZS badges and mirror caps.

Looking good dude! will have to get my hands on a set of these, the orange makes the ZS look a bit sad :(
Nice work there!
It does look a lot fresher with the new lights and the splitter does suit it too.

looks a lot more modern. Was it the full headlamp assembly you changed or just removed the orange lense?

Full headlamp assembly. Got them off ebay, brand new Japan spec for £8 each. Just swap the headlamp height motors over with your old ones and job done!
Took me around 5 hours as ive not got many tools!

Looks great Mattie, very tidy motor..
I keep thinking about putting in some R45 lights too, but actually i think i quite like mine with te orange flashes.
I would put a splitter on, but where i live, i often ground the front of the car coming out garages as it is, so is not something i will be doing :(
Looks good on your car tho i do still think the leon splitter seems to not quite be wide enough in my eyes.. but i suspect it would grow on me :)

Did you not order any left ones? :whistle:
Did wonder about the Jap spec bit when I ordered mine but apparently all marking on lens etc are the same, Japan drives on the left too so only difference is the levelling motors - maybe Japan don't have self levelling?

Looks really good mate, nice improvement. Never understood why the 45 had clear lenses and the zs got the orange ones?!!

yeah the desriptions only said Rover 45 N/S and O/S headlamps... pictures looked ok...
hopfully (Likely) it will all be sweet as nut!
I think once they arrive i might see about modding the old set!

Thanks again for the nice comments.
I wouldnt worry about the 'Jap spec' bit, if I can change the motors over and fit new lights, anyone can!
The splitter does grow on you eventually. Mine is more of a bumper protector if you saw all the scrapes on it!
