I bought this for my boxster when I had it. Weather it's because the headlight units weren't designed for that type of bulb or they were cr%p it's hard to say but there wasn't that much of a difference once it was installed.

Just my experience of them, sure others will disagree.

surely there must be some difference between these and the ones from Geary http://www.eliseparts.com/shop/index.ph ... cts_id=568

£80 Vs £230?

you would expect the ebay ones to be of a poor quality, surely? :?

guess its something to do with buying from a reputable company etc. My old set on my VX were just as good as my exige ones. They flickered when i first installed them but it was just a loose wire. Easy fix.. I've got some pics of mine fitted if interested..
