Talking Angels for my SLK R170

Ive just aqcuired some black angel Lights for my R170 SLK

How easy are they to fit and can I do it myself?

Im so excited I want them on there NOW!! but dont want to pay £200 to get them fitted.

If you know anyone who could help or advise or fit for a lot less, between Hemel and Leighton MK or anywhere along the 4146 would be great!!

Opinion??? Think they will look nice? Anyone seen anything similar and what else could I do next on my car?

Thanks

K

Are they Xenon self-levelling? If so alignment won't be an issue, though high-voltage precautions need to be taken. If not then you'll need to level them afterwards. Surely they come with instructions for you to gauge whether they are hard to fit? Not usually very difficult in my experience (unless it's a DB7 and the parts are rusty and you have aircon hoses to the units ).

nope not xenon self levelling.

I suppose I could manually level them - will just take a bit longer then ...

Thanks :-)
