A couple of pics for those who are doing this job. The first one shows theECU mounted in position. Note that it is at an angle to let the glove box fit.

All 4 switches fitted. I still have to fit the elements for the heated seats and the rear sunblind switch is just there to fill the hole. Although if I saw one cheap somewhere...:lol:

On a more serious note, do you find much difference between the OEM and aftermarket versions?

Better in what way - more light?

Thanks for the piccy of the ECU space, looks like I'll have no problems finding somewhere to fit it, even without the bracket.

BTW in the pic that I've reproduced above, I think that the cruise master switch is installed upside down. I'm not certain but I'm sure the image on teh button should be the other way up?

Thanks again for the images.

Yes - and also a whiter light. My aftermarket kit was 6000K and by comparison, the OEM xenons appear to be about 4100k

Possibly they may look better after the obligatory alignment.

Are the ECUs model dependant or are they all the same?

Very tempted to add this if it is so simple.
