Noticed em when I was in there earlier, £60 each, or £30 on trade!

Well worth remembering!

3 year guarantee too

Always a bit cautious with Halfords bulbs but that’s a great price

Anyone running them on an Omega? Good price for an update, think my 3.2’s are original

[Jimbob]

havent bought any, so cant comment on fit / quality etc, but its a shop you can walk up to and buy them from, and presumably take em back if theres a problem.

If it was me, I'd rather stick to Phillips / Osram, but if I was going for a cheap ebay special, I'd go Halfords over that for definate.

Mind you, last couple of sets of Halfords bulbs I’ve had have been fine.

I replaced the HID bulbs in the Bullet 2 or 3 years ago, with Osram 4.2k OEM spec ones. What a difference on the (then) 15+ yr old ones.  These, as of yesterday, are now in TBE, as those bulbs (now 16yrs old) are bright to look at, but have no illumination.

I need to replace the D3S on the Jag, Halfords looking best bet at £45 trade.  I wonder if they will fit them for a fiver .  Given a choice, I'd rather fit Osram etc, but all reputable suppliers (and some less reputable) all want £100 a pop.

Where did you get yours from?

The Halfrods ones aren't new... They used to be nearer £90 each

Without trade they aren't viable, and with they are still expensive relatively speaking...

That said, there's alot to be said for being able to walk in and buy them in an emergency

I’d certainly consider the Nightbreaker Unlimited ones at that price

I got mine from HERE

Its a shame mine aren't halogen ones as I hate having to pay over the odds for a couple of bulbs.

A reputable supplier who I can't remember now.  There are shitloads of Chinese fakes that are rubbish. It was about £60 for a twin pack. They are more now, due to inflation and poor pound.

Usual rules apply. Not egay. Not Euroshite/CP4L. Not Amazon (unless it specifically says SOLD by Amazon (not just Fulfilled)).

Seeing as they won't be low cost fakes, they are around the right price, and even at retail match/better the price of the likes of euroshitejunk, even with their daily 1/3rd off.
