I found that the length of the wiring was sufficient to just plug into the headlights, with the exception of the indicator wires - these had to be extended with a spade connector and some extra wiring.
Now you should be at as stage where all the wires from both the car wiring loom and from the new headlights are fitted with connectors and the relay installed. Temporarily fit the lights, connecting all the wires and check that they all work correctly and in the right sequence.
Now its best to tidy the installation, clipping both old and new wiring as required with cable clips etc - to ensure it dose not rub against the car body, that it is out of the way of the headlight body and that it cannot be seen from the small gap between the headlight strip and bumper.
Install each light in turn, first of all by fitting the self tapping screw that passes through the hole in the front wing and screws into the metal connector clip fitted to the plastic headlamp strip. When tight, ensure the light unit fits correctly into the recess in the front wing, then mark and drill pilot holes for the 2 top mounts and the lower inner mount (hidden by front grille)
I used self tapping bolts with large washers for these 3 mounts - the lower mounts behind the front grille have some adjustment available by unscrewing the bracket attached to the headlamp and sliding. However even with this adjustment, a small spacer (thick washer) was required.
Again, check the lights are working correctly.
Next fit the front grille. The now redundant mounting points on the grille (both sides) for the old headlamp strips need to be cut off with a hacksaw - see photo below. This shows the first cut I made but I found that I had to make a further cut (green line) to allow the grille to fit between the lights.
Locate the 2 bottom ‘pegs’ of the grille into the holes in the car body and re-fit the 3 top securing screws.
