Xenon bulbs are just that bulb replacements, normally not a much cop unless you buy well known brands like philips gt150 (£30) or spend a lot of money on piaa (£40-70) replacement bulbs.


My cheapo ebay ones made a hell of a difference over my standard bulbs on my 200sx

^ To compare :shrug: cost just over a fiver and are guaranteed for 6 months.

Obviously won't be in the same league as HIDs though :)



Just a guess but if they're from the states it is likely that they are not ECE approved.

Which according to this post http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showpost.php?p=1152350&postcount=2 means you are naughty.


However... it also says my 'xenon bulbs' are illegal, meh.... so how on earth do Phillips sell them? i'm sure only the ones of a higher power rating say 'For off road use only'

Just ordered a 6000k H7 HID kit from MyDepots for around £70 which seems like a pretty good bargain to me!

Look forward to receiving those :)

Just read it,

The cheap ones you bought look good!

I've heard good things about the set i've ordered so i think i'll just hold out for them.

Couldn't see a feature to cancel my order on the website so think i'll just save the hassle lol

Actually on second thoughts i think i'd rather order the same set you've ordered! They are loads cheaper... but the item has ended :(

Are there any other sets identical to these? Links!

Yeh they tuck away no pobs, you get about 20 inch of wire so you can put them any, i've got one on my battery box and one on the wing bolt and tucked down!
