Recently I had a late night shopping trip (which may or may not have included some alcohol) and I ordered these. They are plug and play, have a good beam pattern and good light output.
My likes and dislikes:
+ Easy to mount, on a vehicle with stock Halogen units.
+ Good fitment on the car (I have a 2012 with a newer MY bumper)
+ Good (LHD) beam pattern, easily adjustable with screws on the back. I passed MOT without issues.
+ Bright(er) than halogen. I was using led bulbs in my halogen units, so the light output is about the same if not slightly better. Coming from stock you will definitely notice the difference.
- When the high beams turn on the center most light does some kind of 'lightshow' effect, which is also visible in the video on the product page @0:30. This happens every time the high beams are turned on and is hardwired into the units, which to me makes them unfit to run with the 'auto' light setting of the car (unless you want to laserbeam oncoming traffic every time it gets dim out). The seller confirmed that this cannot be disabled out of the box.
- Long-term support from vendor is dubious at best, though contact and communication throughout all phases of my order was good, quick and accurate.
For the price, I think they're good value and provide a nice upgrade visually and functionally. I might open them up eventually to try and disable that light effect, as I can see that becoming an annoyance. Whether or not you can live with it is a call you have to make on your own.
If you have any questions, hmu 🙂
