Joined at last ! Only taken me a year !!! Anyway -has anyone purchased/fitted a dual light conversion from Jaguar XP.com. If so what quallity are these units? Their price seems more resonable than some @$775-. See you at Harewood (Northern Meet) in pride and joy section.

From the units I have seen from JaguarXP they are not a patch on the Arden units. The fit is poor and they don't always come with all the bits you need to fit them. I have heard mostly horror stories from people who have used them and their comms is not good either.

I'll look out for the car at Harewood. It will be interesting to see how the new lights fit. :) Mike.

Have you seen the ones that Zeemax provide, they look like the Arden units.

They are a COPY of the Arden lights. The Arden lights are very good quality as you would expect from them and the fit is perfect. They are more expensive than the copies but you get what you pay for.

Interestingly you may well have ended up with the XP lights after all or something similar.

Arden do not sell directly to Elite and only sell Jaguar parts through its 2 UK importers, us and Racing Green Cars. As an Arden importer the price they are being sold at by Elite is less than the price we can purchase them for. There are companies out there that copy the Arden product and sell them at a reduced price, but as we said earlier, you get what you pay for.

We are currently negotiating with Arden on the price of these units and are looking to have some special offers on the price very soon.

Hi all- back at last, but down under!

If you don't mind telling, how much did you pay for the wheels and were they easy to fit?
