Super bright module swap. Not cheap chinese rubbish that you have to drill out. Takes approx 2 hours to swap out all 4 modules, 2 on top of the head light and one behind wheel arch liner cover.
Had a custom made Steering wheel for my G14 BMW. This company could not have done any more to help me with issues fitting wiring etc. 5 XXXXX is an understatement, real value for money. Others charging nearly double for the same. Thank you Auto Haus….
Excellent product, quality made, came well packaged, customer service second to none, kept me updated / informed about my product, would high recommend this company.
