I was going to buy these a few weeks ago but 2 things put me off.

1) the wires hanging out of the back(dont look easy plug and play)
2) the seller wanted more than the costs of the lights for postage!

In the end I went for all smoked standard lights.

They're american and as far as I'm aware wouldn't pass an mot due to the fact the beam would point the wrong way. Won't be "E" marked either.

you can adjust the beam if its a projector... i know... and if not, they put a clear plactic sticker(beam deflector ) on them, which you can peeloff when you get home....

I like the idea.. as i've HID projectors and theyre awesome.. i will NEVER go back to halogens.

However i dont really like the look of them and i dont think they will suit the car. Your choice mate but not my thing..

Id get the crystal clear versions of your stock lights and fit an HID kit in them.. that way you have clean factory looks and good lighting... perfect

Here are my HID's... Not the best pic (need a night shot) but you get the idea
