Look nice, but what about bulb upgrades? Any experience- recommendations?
don't know on that one, will find out when mine arrive tomorrow hopefully, can't buy oem for that money afaik
Osram Nightbreakers, make a big difference.
Are these FK units not LHD only ?

I replaced the glass lenses on mine and it made a big difference. The new ones are LHD but even on UK roads they're much improved and they don't point over to the right as much as you mite think..
