    H4 bulbs cobbled together in a shed in shenzen from resistors and many small leds?

    I be surprised if they were anything more than glorified parking lights.

    also after a little while some of the less break and look awful when one side is bright and the other isn't.

    I'm not 100% up to date on current led headlights, but IMHO
    a) even if they were bright enough they would be even worse than chinese HIDs because the hot spot of the bulb would be in the wrong place altogether for replacing filament bulbs

    b)anything bright enough to replace filament bulbs would need a good driver circuit similar to a HID ballast, and a hefty heat sink.

    c) not a hope for €8!

    Those ebay jobs might do if you wanted to turn fogs into kinda DRLs.

    Purely my amateur opinion. If someone has a set and can prove otherwise I'll be happy to admit I was wrong.

    Oh my micksgarage order came this morning nothing major air filter and bulbs.
    I got a 5% discount code for my next order and an Eau de mick :)

    10F1B4FF-58C8-4266-BE46-864BAE6679C1_zpscykgecms.jpg

    The air filter was literally identical to what was in it the only single difference was the one that was in it had a renault stamp beside the Mann filter stamp same part number everything. New filter from renault garage 26 euro micks garage 13.90. maybe if they were different brands but when they are identical it makes no sense to buy from the dealer.

    My favourite bulbs the must have if you do any sort of decent amount of night time driving.

    Pulled the box off the 9-5 this morning, took off the old (new) slave and found a rubber seal had disintegrated away, also a locking pin was snapped in the gearbox by one of the tow people giving the reason why it was locked up :o

    Nearly there now though should be back in normality by saturday :D

    Did the new Civic type R really lap the Nuremberg in 7:50? If so that is faster than a GTR and a Porche 911 Turbo.
