Diffidently going to get a set. I was going to go for this set HERE as a member who I know on here has a set and hasn't had any issues yet and his kit seems bright enough as it is using a 6k bulb I think. I want 43k and go for the more OEM look.

they are still holding up absolutely fine mate!
fit in 30 mins and if you want to remove and replace with standard bulbs for an MOT it takes about 5-10 mins

easy as pie! just make sure you have a hole saw as it doesnt come with one haha

Looking forward to seeing them in.

Take some pics, might help others thinking of doing the same.

I should have done mine.

I'm getting some from HIDS4U at the end of month.

The one's I've got aren't 100% reliable.
