    I don't really think 'low cost' and 'new headlights' go together well mate.

    Thanks guys. I was leaning toward PFV; I was cerious to know your views. I washed one my lenses in the dishwasher and tried to polish up the reflectors but removed the reflective coating! Luckily I had some chrome spray, so me thinks it's time to replace them!

    Thanks again.

    The ones I have work fine and yes in comparison, it's a good price BUT if I had 300 quid to play with, I'd be heading to HLM not PFV
