Volvoforlife this was the kit I got £135 after discount, I rate them far better than the £45-£60 kit I had before, much brighter, sharper have a better build quality and a two year guarantee/warranty. Photos are only taken with an iPhone 5, using the tap to focus helps a bit..

You're probably right about getting what you pay for. I'm gonna give the one's scooby bought and see how they look. I can always buy the more expensive kit if it doesn't work out.
