They do look good/o.e.m. and I like the price!
I'm also looking for a good set original xenons (with 10 to 12 pin adapters) for my mk5 gti, but I don't want to spend more then 400,- euro's (in The Netherlands), so was looking for the Hella xenon look set (with H7 bulbs).
Any experience with the FK models?

Would interested in these also tho would ideally prefer Hella or at least Depo but finding any of those in the uk at the mo is a non starter..

Look idential to OEMs/ Hella/ Depo and would be a straight forward fit with them being H7's. Easy fitment with HID kit for Xenon look.

But they're £181.29 - not £155? (get the feeling they've just put them up in price due to "limited stock").

Where is FK based? The website had alot of prices in Euros so are you sure these are RHD?

I bought a set of Depos from Germany recently, was assured they were switchable but when I got them (and went to the hassle of fitting) I realised they were LHD only...

If you click on specification it says that they are left & right so id imagine there is a switch to alter beam from lhd to rhd, however if this is actually the case when they arrive is another story.

I wouldn't assume that at all - in fact I would read that as 'Left hand' headlight and 'Right hand' headlight. (as often listed on German headlights).

Also if there is a switch is it actually LHD and RHD or LHD and Flat (like most OEM)?

So lots to think about... but I'm only asking these questions as I've been bitten... albeit the seller was very good about it and gave me a full refund.


EDIT: In fact the spec says "left + right (Set)" so even more logical to assume it's referring to two headlights.

If you put it that way, i think your right. So the only way to find out is to actually see a set up close.

...or send them an email  :P

But I think it's a German company so can guess what the answer is going to be. Also looking at the close-up pic of where the bulb fits I can't see a leaver to switch.

So you're sure they're Right hand drive? Bargain if they are, despite not being branded...
