There sweet, look great and practical too! And they have proper cornering lights built into the headlight unit as well. The day light running lights arent too bad either, they are just a P21w bulb, not halogen as some people are saying. The cornering light is a halogen H7 though. Very impressed, not gonna sleep much tonight, want to go play with my car. The puddle lights on the mirrors are decent too, just as good as I had one my Audi. Only thing I dont like about the lights is only one rear foglight active, but I believe you can activate both with vagcom, once I get the new cable I'll have a try.
My only disapointment with the car is the horn aint working properly. The dealer fitted cruise and the steering wheel centre looks like it needs to be pushed in a bit further. You really have to shove it to get the horn to work. I'm gonna phone them on monday and see what they say. I dont want to try anything in case I break it!! I'll see what they say.

Congrats Alan. Your first line says it all I think.
Sounds like you've already been giving it a good look over and have been getting to know your new Roc. Enjoy !

I dont know what they charged for fitting it, I told them all the options I wanted and he worked out a price for everything. Just annoying that the steering wheel centre isnt sitting right and the horn aint working properly, but sure it wont take much for them to rectify, just a pain cos there 90 odd mile away. But fingers crossed we'll have some stormy weather this week and a day off and I can pop down with it for them to check. done 280 miles already and its brilliant, just as refined as my A4 was, if not slightly better to be honest, cant get over how quiet it is, and the suspension is great, comfort is spot on for pottering and normal is good for in a hurry, sport seems a bit solid to me, but I'm not a boy racer anymore!!, much! :hyper:

Alan, p.s. my picture doesnt do the colour justice, the weathers been crap since I got the car.
