you should buy a spare set of headlights for the retro fit
i would say the aftermarket work out cheaper and they have the LED DRL
you just need a H1 HID KIT to go with it and a lot less work
they were not out when i did the retro fit and there were no RHD ones anywhere

I think the retrofit ones look better than the aftermarket.
I'm fussing the headlight levelling doesn't work on the retrofit though.

In that case the retrofit got to be the better choice as looks soooo good. Any problems at MOT?

Righty ho; time for me to blow the spray from my fountain of knowledge towards you guys.
I've had the aftermarket Xenons as linked above in mine for 6 months now and I've never looked back. The DRLs look far superior to any standard Vauxhall unit, the look incredible when fitted with a good HID kit and everything works on them including the levelling. I also think it has a certain degree of self levelling as if your stopped on an incline in traffic, you can see them moving down and then they move back up again and I won't have touched the switch although you can do that too.
The price is a little steep but when they arrive it's a lot of item for your money ad they are very well built. I believe I've seen them for 320 somewhere.
If you want pics or any other info, then feel free to ask in a PM or on here
(it's so much easier than a OEM retrofit as there is £900 worth of parts to get it to work never mind the having to make your own new wiring looms etc, and fitting projectors into the original lights looks like a lot off faff melting glue and grinding it all out etc. But I'm a guy who just wants to take the old thing out, put the new ones in and have it working in 30 mins)
Regards.
