I will have better ones shortly once my HID kit arrives. The dipped beams are now H1s rather than H7 so I can't re-use my decent bulbs and am currently stuck with 99p china finest halogens that are useless. Figured that since I have projectors I could now get away with a set of HIDs without blinding people - they should be here tomorrow

I do have these:

Adjusted (for now, until HIDs and a visit to local garage to set them up legally)

On in bright daylight:

With US DRLs still activated:

All bulbs on:

Dipped are the horrid yellow- mains are white (blue tinted bulbs) in the centre - nice colour but terrible light output so didn't bother trying them in the dipped beam. Not a great pic but as you can see - it started to rain. Looking at the pics i think even the blue coated bulbs would be brighter than the cheap halogens that came with the light:rofl:

Thanks buddy, I really appreciate the detailed reply. :thumbup:

I'm really tempted by these........I really want to update the front end of my motor and they would help a lot.

Fitted.... insanely bright. Need to adjust the beam again as I'm blinding every poor soul unlucky enough to be driving toward me.... Just didn't have time today

Went for a 5000k 55w kit - perfect colour but silly bright

Been ages since I've been on here. Leon doesn't get the love it deserves now as I have works car (fiesta). Need to get cracking with it again, looks unloved at the minute.

Do these pass an MOT as there are no headlight washers? My only concern as they are very nice.
