The connectors made a satisfying click and likewise when fitting to the bonnet, there was a satisfying click from the fasteners.

Probably the biggest issue with buying copied stuff from the likes of China is how good a copy it is, and one of their biggest failings is in quality and accuracy. In this instance, the quality is excellent as is the accuracy. Will have to wait on another cold spell to see if the electrics are as good.

Will they last as long as the OEM ones? I don't know, but for £7 it's a chance I'm willing to take. I still have the original ones as spares, so I won't be stuck.
Are they heated ones Sean? there are heated and non-heated versions available I believe
