if you want cheap go to www.gsfcarparts.com or www.eurocarparts.com but i'd go for a set of crystals as they make the car look much fresher and cleaner. but it depends on whether your modifying you car or keeping it standard?

anygood? do these all fit straight in with a standard grill? and saw some looms being made by dizzie...is this for a xeon upgrade?

mainly i want decent light at night and the standard lights arent so good so doesnt have to be originals.

Just make sure they are for a RHD car and not a LHD car.

Had a quick look at GSF's online catalogue, they're showing crystals for £54, may investigate since I need headlamps too! :sad:
