questions about newly installed new halo bulbs and washer jets

Hi all.

Installed new halo ring bulbs. Got these for £38.60 using code PAYDAY 25 as one of my halo bulbs had blown and needed replacing anyway:

BMW wanted £38 for a original bulb so went with the above.

Straight swap, no adjustment needed. looks great.
Managed to install without removing the wheel but did remove the arch liner. this was a pig to do so highly advise taking the wheel off. I was just lazy.

I didnt get before pics, and the bulbs are actually whiter than in the pics below.

I also got these washer jet replacements as both of mine kept sticking. Installed fine, however, i think i need to adjust the nozzles as they now spray over the bonnet.

They seem to be ok and look decent quality. time will tell....

Is it a case of extending them out again and using a pin or something to adjust the alignment?

Managed to adjust the nozzles... grabbed the covers and pulled the washers forward and moved the jets using a flat head screw driver.

Need to adjust the windscreen washers slightly. Tried using a pin but it made no difference....

Keep us updated on the washer replacements please

I've bought a few from China and they last about 5 squirts before leaking.

I bought mine from China 2 years ago and they still work great, but I tried to buy from someone with good reviews and more pricy. I think I spend £25 per nozzle.
