Uh oh, another one... Seems there was gonna be a bidding war regardless.

Guess it just comes down to who wants them the most.

Not sure mate, they must be cos mine just got tested with them fitted. I think it comes down to how blue they are. Mine emit white light, just on the limit before blue.

I've got a spare set someone can have if they like. I think mine were silver backed though... I havnt seen them for a year or too since I packed them away.
I'll dig them out if someone's interested....

Just remembered mine are angel eye's...

Anyone who puts HIDs in halogen reflectors should be banned from driving. So much glare. Even if it passes mots and you don't get flashed. Half the time I don't flash because I'm being blinded.
Do it properly and get propper projector retrofits made. Or clean your headlights and put decent bulbs in.

I bought it like that. To be fair they aren't that bad, I've stood in front of the car with the lights on and wasn't blinded or anything. I'm still looking for projectors & have been watching those eBay ones for a while but it appears I have some competition on here.
