   It's a piece of piss.
   
   If you want chavtastic (and illegal) led ones, I have a set that came with my car. I'll swap for your std ones but I've no idea if they work.

   easy as f*k mate it takes 2 minutes, just pull the old 1's off the fluid hose, put the led 1's back into the fluid hose and link the wires from them to the wires for the headlights
   
   ^^^ dont know if they're illegal or not but ive had green led's on mine for months and never been pulled over or anything for them, ive heard blue and red led washer jets are illegal thou cos its police colours, not sure if thats true thou tbh

   It is technically illegal to have any colour other than white shining from the front of the car.

   I've gota strange feeling blue is ok as long as its not flashing and red is out of the question. Wouldn't bother though. Std mk2 washer jets are the way forward tbh...
