Found some on eBay but theyre £52.50 posted !
Looking on MiniTrailers, they seem to do angel eyes with the purple/yellow lenses.. but do I trust ordering from MT??

Yeah, that's the problem with a lot of these aftermarket headlights and headlight kits, they aint 'E marked' or whatever it is so not road legal.
Should have a big red note on all of the piccies on their websites saying 'caution, useless but shiney blingey type product'

Yea, basically, you have to use lamps there were originally HID, these ballast and bulb conversion kits are illegal IIRC. The lamps must also need to self level (that can be done by the lamp itself or through the suspension), and also self cleaning.

er, no. The wipac freeform halogens are E marked. But don't buy anything from minitrailers if you want it in under a month - the bloke is ridiculous. Some very nice stuff though
