Anonymous Unregistered A	Good link, and the prices do seem rather good. We had a group buy a few years ago with prices around £350 mark. I had them fitted (think they are Philips) and they have been working very well since. Massive improvement upon the originals. Let me know if you get them fitted.

Although one of my ballast units failed recently, i emailed them and they said just send it back and it will be replaced. Posted it off on Monday 2nd class, and the new one arrived today. They are very nice people to deal with, i have found. Death-rattle-tastic

They are way way brighter than any normal bulb. I remember Pauls attempts at a Samco hose group buy Last edited by Jimbo; 03/02/2006 22:07.
