And price conversion £152 +postage (and whatever post Brexit might add on)

However:

Note: Due to changes in shipments and handling of deliveries to the UK, as a result of Brexit, we have temporarily stopped sales to the UK. We hope to resolve this soon.

Thanks for this.

So does this mean that the lenses for the xenon headlight unit is the same as the halogen? - as another (cheap) option is a spare set of halogen lights from a donor car as they are less likely to be crazed on the inside

Yes the lenses are the same. Don’t try to get the lenses out of the halogen headlights, remove the old lenses from your xenon headlights and put the new lenses in..
they are not that expensive....

When you visit their site, the first thing you are met with is a 'pop up' with the words "SORRY, WE CURRENTLY DON’T SHIP TO UNITED KINGDOM" and a drop down list of the countries they do ship too...

Thats a pukka job how on earth did you separate them and what did you seal them back up with?

Cut the lens with an angle grinder with a very thin disc.
Remove the remaining lens parts and sealant by hand with some special tools, available on the web.

Reseal can be done with butyl so you can open them easier the next time if necessary, I use black bison poly max.

Yeah thanks brexit..

They have a few things I am interested in.. as well as the new headlamp lenses they do ready-polybushed control arms for a decent price.
I might send them an email to ask if they are planning to reintroduce uk shipping.
