Gotta laugh
Couldn't find much difference in sale prices of empty xenons regardless of whether the mounts were broken or not, so figured it wasn't worth the hassle (especially somewhere where there's at least some chance that someone might have the bits lying around) - how wrong could I be....
Anyway, if only I had a shed I could have kept them in there rather than the spare bedroom. Which led to marital bending of the ear
Apparently "no they aren't the ones I'm fitting, they are spare at the minute" isn't a good enough reason to keep them when I have another set sat next to them. So my lack of a shed helped to bring this thread into existence
There's only one answer.... anyone want to swap a pair of xenons for a shed
