I have bought a set via ebay and they are nice and bright and fit perfectly- so much better than the LED festoon replacements and well worth doing
Oh I forgot to ask... any issues with them flickering or sometimes not powering on? Because if so there is no need for me to test before selling them to whoever wants them

Ive not seen them flicker and have done a couple of thousand miles since fitting them mostly with the lights on (I was abroad with DRL required)

The only potential issue is that the electrical connectors are not locking (they are just pins) so I taped the connction up to prevent any shaking loose.

Nice, wish I hadn't bought two brand new Audi ones last year, there was NOTHING aftermarket back then, now they are all over the shop!

What about the connector? Is it plug and play or a bit of adaptation to do?

They are plug and play, it's just the pins push straight into the connector at the car end and don't lock in place.

I have tested them now too and they work. As I have a few of then and bought them quite a bit cheaper than on that site I propose you guys group up and I box them and send them to one person in the UK and then that person distributes them?
