Euro Wagens (check ebay) £220.00 delivered. Make sure you buy the ones H7/H7 bulbs stick away from D2S if ou don't have Xenons already

Hella are the best with the best cut off and light output with hid kit and look identical to the oem hella xenons

Depo if I remember correctly need a 6 o'clock mod to get the cut off right

I think hella in rhd are hard to find now but well worth the money, I paid around £300 a couple years ago but are a fantastic upgrade

This exactly, I haven't bought a set of depo yet, on ebay you can buy Depo ones as cheap as £190.00, some LHD hellas are over £300.00 I've seen, let alone RHD.
Alot of folk are running them without issues though, apart from the 6oclock mod.

i bought a set of depo's and didnt have to do the 6oclock mod. I bought them after reading a review on them here and the person who reviewed them didnt need to do the mod too  :happy2:

I stand corrected maybe it was earlier ones that needed the mod doing
