Just in cardboard boxes now, but all looks genuine and the hologram works as it should.

Edit: Job done, all fitted and working well. Bulb had exploded so my offside light unit is full of broken glass and metal from the shutter.
Not sure if I can somehow suck that out through the bulb fitting hole with a small tube attached to a vacuum cleaner or will need to dismantle it.
Is dismantling a reasonable job?

I did remove the air intake pipe but that only slightly blocks access for the H7 and probably makes no real difference.

Maybe a bit of "vigorous" driving will shift the debris out of harms way?
