We have a few threads about these, there's a long thread somewhere (can't remember where though) lol.
They'll look that part if that's all you want..  :wink:

This was me asking the question a month back! Within the link there are other useful links I think the one Jay is referring to;

I'm probably in a minority here but I actually don't like the look of the xenon lamps and think the dark halogens are way better looking. The xenons do perhaps look a bit more aggressive but they have an almost grotesque element to them which seems a bit out of place.

To be honest I think they both look great :smiley:
