Fitted mine earlier today, and just been for a spin

I cant believe how good they are, the cats eyes are now too bright in the road

and talk about distance with full beam on i could see a good half a mile in the twisties, now my sidelights look complete pants, and almost banana yellow (and thats with some cheap halfords 'blue' sidelights, I had to change them as one was blown anyway)

Very impressed, very white, and look the dogs

Well done John, for organising this group buy, well worth the wait

Fitted mine. Very nice, very white and very bright. Does make the sidelights look a tacky yellow colour. Cant be to bright for oncoming cars as had no one flash me as yet.

Anyone know what the sidelights are for an MY00?

Simon.

OK, this is the best I can get.

Headlights are from John, driving lights are 200W Cibies...

In reality the driving lights look mush more yellow than this - I guess its a limitation of the camera.

Driving light bulbs going in tomorrow. Again, thanks for arranging this John

Unhappy

Bob, I've got H3's if you want them, and a few other things that people ordered and now don't want / haven't paid for H1, H4, H7 I'm relly pleased that people have found the bulbs to be good!

Bob, yes as far as I'm aware you need H3's for '02 fogs, but consult your owners hand book to make sure, regards

More mail for you! I'm hoping you can supply me a set of H7's and H1's (dipped and main) for my Golf.

If you could let me know how you want payment etc. once you confirm it's viable, then I can take care of that side of things.

Cheers,

Jon
