Thanks James. Are you running with non-Uk ones then? Or LED units?

I wouldn't go that far Nick! I did have some palpitations when I saw the £380 though!

That's tricky! £180 versus £30? I wonder it it's just a quality question or more fundamental than that?

Just get a pair of mini ones for the MOT - dead cheap and unless you are going to do lots of night time driving or show your car at concourse events they will be fine. I got a set for mine - £24 iirc. You can spend more of course but it all depends what you need from them

Found on ebay that Opie oils do them, so could use my race sponsorship discount. £24 inc fast delivery from a company I trust!
