i just had a quick search and all that comes up now is HID conversions..
IIRC they were about £20 and come in a shiny silver box lol..
the only prob is being 8k the light scatters a bit and appears slightly blue
[weatherspoons is a pub chain :O ]

From that angle they look identical to the Artebs and FK's but from other angles the lense doesn't look as clear.
Think I'm going to go Arteb

from my experience, depos seem better qualty and give off better light pattern as they are RHD.
glass in them is thicker as well and are LEGAL

Cant remember what make they were but these ones
although they were LHD and a bit crap for light, uprated bulbs are a must!
