..and this is with TWO l.e.d's fiited,one in the low beam and one in the high beam.

...and,no,this isnt a shot of my headlights with a "blown" high beam on the passenger side,
rather two leds on the drivers and stock on the passenger.

Will finish the other side off tomorrow....and get some twilight shots so they arent so "bright"

I'm just wondering how much this would affect the already horrible light dispersment of the Magrada Parabolic headlights?

One 1cm hole? Dont think that will do much...

So ,i finished my led para install today.
Here are some photos in order of how things were done,i wont go into details to much,as you should be able to figure it out,

oh,and the bulb holder is a soft plastic parker holder out of a 2nd gen,this saved me worring about a gromet as this worked really well..see they are good for some thing...

really good mod, i would love to do this but it would be really annoying, to take off the bumer and headlights to change the lights over.

Well....without taking the headlights out....there will be little chance of your parras going in.
Bumper does not need to come off. Don't see where he wrote that/posted pictures of a bumper off.
You have to push it down slightly, that's it
