What recommendation do you want?
The headlights or the bulbs?
Headlights them selves please

Are you looking at buying a set that’s aftermarket or modifying your own headlights

There is 2 sets of aftermarket lights, they did put up a write up on them on here so could be worth a look for that.

Had to hunt for it myself.

From within this thread, I know he did sell the car so I don't think he's an active member anymore.

Thanks Rusty
Need a little help...
Just picked up a set of those aftermarket headlights in Jordan's thread.
When I spoke to my local garage about getting them installed they were adamant that they are incompatible because of the LED DRL and that the projectors were an immediate MOT failure?
I actually spoke to the company before I purchased them, and they assured me they would be error free and pretty much plug 'n' play, which was supported by Jordan's thread.
As I don't have the tools or the talent to do something like this myself, I'm pretty much at a loss.
The LED's will have resistors which will stop the error's and they will works.
I can't see your fail an MOT there is no reason to fail an MOT with them fitted.

Thanks Rusty. I didn't understand why they would fail the MOT either, which is why I was a bit confused. I didn't know the LED's had built in resistors but that would be logical.
I got the impression that they weren't really interested in fitting them and were trying to fob me off. I don't suppose you know anyone in the Midlands that could do it for me? Thanks
they are probably getting confused - as the regulations have recently changed.
I think they can now fail if youv'e fitted different bulbs
the testing manual states
"Existing halogen headlamp units shouldn't be converted to be used with HID bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp."
but if youv'e fitted new lamps I think you should be OK (but I'm not a tester)
