Are these any good?
I remember a thread about bulbs a while back but search doesn't bring any results up.
Need to replace the aftermarket HID's I have currently. MOT is due next month.
Philips diamond vision aren't legal for road use in the uk, so wondered whether the osrams will suffice?
Also, whats the difference between the plus and unlimited?

I swapped to them, pretty good,
ECP emailed me about an offer on then at the moment.
Halfords usually have them on BOGOF so ends up around the same. Maybe £2 difference.
So you may want to save te extra £2 and drive out of your way

Philips X-treme's is what you want
From my experience, Osram's offer a slight improvement but nothing wondrous.

Xenons are for old people who can't see properly in the dark.

Haha HIDs will probably pass the mot anyway mate, you have washer jets so more than likely if the beam image is okay you will be fine. Just chance it
