Cheers Rich for the advice only took about an hour to get them in, now just to sand and finish off.
here are my lights fitted

Looking good Craig.

Got my fronts in but not happy with the security. Need a couple more copper holders bonded on.

I've done the rears. Well nearly. Just need to bond the metal adapter plate to the body. Then test out the lights as I've wired them up temporary.

Looking at the picture, you might have the same problem as me with the wheels. The wheel looks like it's sticking out just past the wheel arch.

John, yeah think they do but they are 7x16, not sure about the front but the back will almost certainly be getting ever so slightly modified to accept 8x17 with 225 tyres.

I have hopefully been reliably informed that the changes to the back will be subtle and only wider by about 1.5 inches

That looks smart! I'm glad I've copied you, and bought the same lights!

Pictures like these are just what are needed to bolster the motivation :)

Hi Craig.

I've uploaded my images of the car in the gallery. It will give you an idea of how the rear Hella lights look. The outer ones anyway!

Right I have the lights connected up now and will post a pic when it gets a bit darker twin halo's look awesome

John, hope you offered money and did not buy at the buy it now price??

I got mine for £20 less

Fog lights???? Or extra side light with the halo's???? How bright is it (side, main or dipped brightness???)

On mine it's a generic sidelight bulb fitment. I figure it's where you're meant to dump the OEM bulb holder and connector when you're replacing them on 206.
