Lightbulb Xenon headlights

I am looking for a complete pair of xenon headlights for my S40.

Preferably with black bezels and chrome rings, but I can swap them out with my existing ones, if not.

Cash waiting, for a pair at a sensible price.

Gary

I had a set of after market HID's before, Kieran, but they didn't light up the road very well.

Looked good while looking at them, but no use for driving along a dark road at night.

I have added a pic of the HID kit.

Prefer to get the proper thing any way - you know me!

Gary

PS
Must have been longer than I thought, as I was still on Stellars!

Thanks for the offer, mate.

I just fitted a set that I bought from Siamblue/Gatos, last week.

£120 including carriage and new adjusters too - total bargain! Thanks to Gatos and Gary!!!

A guy on ebay was selling the driver side unit for £135!!
