the price does seem a little crazy, but compared to the price of other mods it's just a drop in the ocean. I paid £30 for my reg plate LEDs as I wanted the best, which is the same league as the Osram kit. After having these installed I will definitely choose them again going forward. You get what you pay for at the end of the day, and this kit is the best you're gonna get.

It seems like you've fallen for their strategic marketing hook line and sinker. As Raffe says, £3 will buy you a product that does exactly the same thing. You say "You get what you pay for" I think that the extra you are paying for is some fancy packaging and some injected molded plastic to make the lamps "look" more expensive, when in fact that costs pence to produce.

good job I got them for free then isn't it? :wink:

They do look very good quality, but seriously £40!

I got 10 off eBay for £3 and to date no issues :whistle:

Cheers for the review Pryda hope it was worth entering =)

Osram products are expensive but are most certainly the highest quality. There will always be people who would rather buy sweat shop items. Everything we sell has a minimum of a 1 full year warranty and we have a UK based customer service team.

It is always going to be an ongoing trade off with price and we do our best to make the prices the cheapest we can while maintaining the highest quality. Many of the ebay sellers will disappear inside of a year. You are all on here buying VW and not Skoda... Demand UK customer service teams from your phone companies, British beef from your supermarkets and Bosch quality for your wiperblades.

We are proud to offer the best quality and best customer service as well as a warranty and guarantee to match it.
