   Got a headlight out and just wondering if anyone knows if these will be any good... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-SAXO-V...QQcmdZViewItem ... or should I just get sandard replacements??
   
   Does say they're e-marked, guess that means they'd be ok come MOT time?
   
   Cheers

   Yeah did wonder about how shite they'd be tbh, like the idea of the HID look without the HID pricetag though. Can you (or anyone else) recommend a set/seller?

   Halfords are doing buy one get one free on bulbs at the moment. They aren't the cheapest but to be fair the top range ones do give out good light.
   
   Osram night breakers are considered good as well.
