Doubt your gonna get those at that price.The second or third post mentioned the price went up to £181 and they turned out to be LHD units anyway.
I payed around £217 RHD delivered for mine end of last year. aim for that but you may be waiting a while.

I paid 200 pound (230 euro's) for my lhd, delivered.
I think that's a good price for them and don't think you will find them for 155 again...

I am in the process of getting a group buy approved for maximum 20 sets of xenon look headlights by DEPO for £235 delivered each.

I will let you know when its up. Got wind of the shipment from a friend so I kindly asked him to dibs the stock for us as I know how popular they are and tough to get at a good price!

Will be paypal gift payment, expect shipment to arrive and ready for posting out in start of march.

First come first served so keep your eyes peeled!

Cheers, Omar

Connected the headlight to a 12v source to determine if I'm going to use a H7 xenonlook bulb (I tested A dectane x.ray h7 bulb) or if I'm going to install a 5000K hid kit before installing the whole units in the car (still don't know what hid kit to go for, because I had one before that killed my wiper motor, SUGGESTIONS?).

The projector headlight looks good with the 'ultra white' h7 bulb, but I think real xenon will look better.
I've noticed that behind the projector/behind the chrome ring there is some 'semi-transparant-blackish' plastic where the light also shines through. Is this normal? Is this also with the o.e.m. headlights?
See pic I've made:

Will do!  :happy2:

If I dont get a reply from SteveP by end of thursday then Ill set up the group buy in the "Group buy" section and let everyone get their names down as its really limited stock.

Will not take any payments till the group buy has the green light by SteveP, our admin. ( Steve if your reading this please check your PMs, all the group buy details there mate  :smiley: )

This will give members more time to make their decisions and get funds together in time for end of the month.

Will put up posts when Iv set it all up and make it clear so noone misses the party!  :party:

All over this.

Is anyone who is running them with standard H7 bulbs (preferably MTEC for direct comparison) able to comment on the light output and night visibility versus standard GTI non-xenon lights? Any better or worse?
