| Shilen, that is spooky. Was it in Pembrokeshire? Regarding the X3 - I was considering that. But just like 3 years ago there's a six month wait at least. I don't suppose this forum is the place to give ... |

| Just ordered some Halfords Extreme Brilliance H11's for dipped beam. Thinking of getting main beams as well. Handbook says these are H11,but I believe they are H7. Is that correct? |
