Today I woke up and decided I liked them.

I, like Kenny, like them and they are popular in the USA.
However, Snoops was disgusted by the wiring which then put me off.  :rolleyes:
I still like them.  :smiley:

I find sleep depravation works just as well. Thank you for your kind concern.  :kiss:

Hopefully I'm not. I'm relying on you lot to talk me out of it. I'm swaying towards the ones at the bottom of post 1 with the animated gif thingy.
319 Euros.

OEM Xenon retrofit looking like £1000 + and having trouble sourcing a lot of the bits second hand to keep the costs down. So I've been looking elsewhere, and tainted myself with these.......

I think we'd have to disown you if you installed those. We'd miss you but it would be for your own good. I saw a picture of a car with these in the other day and I'll try and find it. It looked like the car was cross eyed, sorta like it was trying to see its own bonnet badge. They're really ugly. I put together my xenons for under £1k, admittedly running the costs through my business which saved the VAT but I'd rather do that than have these ugly things spoiling the front.

I had them on my mk5. The wiring as it comes is pretty messy, but easily tidied up with heat shrink once they are fitted and wired in.

Much prefer my xenons now though.
