Received and installed! It was a piece of pie, no need to take lights off either, just screw the cap off.

I have to say I am thoroughly happy with it!

Now, just a question, what's the rated life for these?

Also, is it possible to have the dealer set these at DRL's? Anybody know?

pinguhk, your bulbs work out more than ?20 with the exchange rate what it is at the moment.

does anyone with these think they are quite bright during daytime hours, as would like a set but want the brightest i can get.

regards
jason.
these are the brightest but in the day they are not as bright as the ice because you will never get bulbs at are over 8w for our angle eye unless you change to Xenon
