Been trawling through the net, and think I may have found some lights that would replace the XR lights. They come as a whole unit, and may just be more expensive than stock. But before I enquire about prices, does anyone know the size of the opening in the ED XR grille for the light itself?

basically you want to buy pre-done angel eye lights from a bmw copy.. :P

it wont fit, the backing is different and mounting screws, can be done but to much effort!

which reminds me, gotta get onto these angel eyes :P

No no, not angel eye kits. And brackets can be made easily enough. But yes, the hole in the bumper. Id assume seeing as though the ef/el use the same lights as the ED, that the hole would be the same or similar size?
