Thanks,

Not actually sure I am selling it, hard to replace.

Yes we fitted the glass ourselves.

Mcma1 I sent him a 'pm' suggesting as much. There is also quite a comprehensive 'how to fit' link on Landyglass website.

mcma, i have a question.

I too have an x tech. i bought the jw speaker 8700 headlights as well. i nstalled them today, but i found there was two plug on the back of my original headlights, and i only one on the jw speaker lights. I plug them in and when i turn my lights on to the first setting on the light switch they dont do the dimmed lower light, but wourk like normal lights when i flick it to the 2nd setting I assume i need to somehow get that wire somehow plugged into the jw speakers. What did you do?

Hi Cevapcici,

Did you buy the standard 8700 or the 8700 Evolution?

8700 (no integrated side light)
http://www.mobilecentre.co.uk/index.php?ma...cts_id=398

8700 Evolution (integrated side light)
http://www.mobilecentre.co.uk/index.php?ma...cts_id=570

The X-tech comes with headlights that feature integrated side lights instead of the completely separate side lights on the non-SVX grille. this requires the 8700 Evolution which has the integrated side light.

You can see the subtle differences in the 2 links as the evolution has a little eyebrow type slit above the first glass ball which would be the second plug and operate as a side light.

regards

Steve,

Thanks for the quick reply!

i bought the evolution.

Do i have to get some sort of connector that plugs each plug from the car into one plug into the headlight for the first switch setting on my headlight stick to work?

this is the page i bought from;

in the description, are they the correct ones with the side light?

http://www.kbcarstuff.com/JW-Speaker-Model...700-ev.htm

i assumed this meant that they came with the integrated side light;
ECE RHT-compliant high/low beam with front position
ECE LHT-compliant high/low beam with front position

Iv'e just checked the Speaker site so as to not suffer the wrath of opinion over knowledge (which I fully back

).

The standard 8700 or on the website '8700 HB' is the type without the integrated side light.

The 8700 Evolution is with the integrated side light. From your link, they have put the standard light picture but referenced the 8700 Evolution.

You have a case to go back to them with. ===================================
