» CMF MemberBought a pair from aaron last year.. got several issues with them.
Didn't realise it at the time, but internally they were already broken - the adjustment for the rear reflectors was broken, there was plastic internally that was broken off, and just in general the quality of them is severely sub-standard compared to the OEM units. Not blaming aaron for that - they're just **** quality. Also because the adjustment is broken I can't get them adjusted so they're pointing the way I want them to.
Sure, they may look alright but they're designed for left hand drive cars, poorly made in general and not worth the cash that you'd outlay for them. A fair few people who have gotten them on here got annoyed at them because having nice looking headlights aren't nearly as important as being able to actually see stuff in front of you at night.
Get some 4K HID's or something if you wanna improve your headlights some.

» CMF Memberwell there's two diff types you can get, you can either get the cheap version (which is generally made of plastic), or the OEM glass version from taiwan which come standard on taiwanese super-marches...

» CMF MemberDo the current taiwanese super march headunits fit the MK1 marches? From what I can see they have a different shape...
CMF_deNs
» CMF MemberAs pyro said, they look like they're a slightly different shape to the UKDM K11's and would possibly need a different grill to fit the headlights correctly..
If they do fit (correctly) and you know where to get them, let us know. I've only seen the DEPO units on eBay, and they aren't worth what they're asking for them.

» CMF Memberdepo's? they fit and work great on my car.. glass version...

» CMF MemberI now have some after market black chrome lights on my face lift k11. The fit is good but the quality is a bit disappointing. As they are not glass but plastic I wondered if they can handle a 6000 or 8000K HID kit. Anyone with experience maybe?

» CMF Memberwhack one in there, if the front melt's off them, tell us about it, then we won't do the same =) I thought price wasnt too diff between glass plastic version?
CMF_Pyro
» CMF MemberThis is the only one I could source, also with a reasonable price. I'm not even sure if they are made with glass for the facelift k11. Never realized they could be plastic though. I will mount an HID kit in a while. Will keep you guys updated.
