If they are Depo, they arn't the best but it will do. Im keeping an eye out for Hella ones, rare to come by! But I got the Depo ones for time being with HID and LED side lights.

Ive got these on my mk5 and they are brilliant! Look no different to genuine xenons with the right hids. Highly recommend them

I had depo projectors on my astra & they weren't sealed 100% I found, seemed to let some condensation in, had to reapply sealant myself after drying them out.

Thats the link. Um only bits like the kick up for the beam not that great. But they work and do look good on the car!

Yes the Hella and FK lights beam pattern is not as good, more blinding (acceptable with HIDs though...) visually similar.
Hella I believe use the same reflector unit in their housings just without the Xenon-y parts attached to them. I'd buy Hella personally but these days OEM Xenons are coming up for sale cheap enough I'd just buy them lol

I haven't got the money to buy genuines. Got to spend my pennies on maintenance bits n bobs. Then i'll look into it more. The Hella's are for only LHD, they did do a small amount years ago for the RHD market. No idea if they got the switch over bit inside the unit for the beam.

Pretty sure they do have the ability to change their orientation.. my Hella Celis could.
