I have a pair of genuine Prodrive lights fitted to mine. I could maybe be tempted in parting with them, I would want £350 plus your headlights. These are whats originally fitted to the UK300 bugeye and very rare

I ordered some headlights for my bugeye off e-bay, these were imported from states - biggest mistake ever, they came with brake lights for indicators-lol!!! The wiring loom was wrong fitment, and after all of is the lights finally frazzled my wiring loom, only just managed to get it fixed - car been with electrician for 10 days. Not trying to frighten you off, just be very careful when buying cheap c**p off ebay.

I think the north American cars have red indicators for some odd reason. Is there no way you can put a claim in through pay pal adding pics as proof? Yeah eBay is very dodgy on imported aftermarket parts I try to buy from uk sellers but to be honest that's getting as bad now

Sti hids mate which are found on the import sti's

although I have a set of them and a set of uk300 prodrive lights, when I fitted some aftermarket hids to the uk300 lights there was no noticable difference. I think both lights use a projector lenses.
