    They look awsome mate. Was looking at some of them the other day, but after reading pullstarter had a bad experience with them, it kinda put me off. Gone OEM dual chambers for now!

    oh really? that sucks dude! well the brand on these lights is "HBLLA"....... yeh thats right.... H-B-LLA.... lol. I hope you got your money back and/or gave them neg feedback.

    I'm not sure if they are RHD or LHD but they seem to work well, no flare up on either side... me thinks they are both the drivers side lights from each type (i.e. front right from a RHD car and front left from a LHD car) because I had to modify the left side with a saw to get it in straight.

    Let me explain:

    you can see in just underneath the bolt hole on the far right there is a pin that keeps the light in place. On the original set i have, the passenger side light has the pin above the hole, the drivers side has it below. On the set i got, both sides have the pin below the hole. All I did was cut the pin right off on the passenger side and voila!

    For $180 I'm really not complaining. They look sweet and they are decent quality. I'm going to take em out again soonish and just re-silicone all of the edges anyway.

    Pullstarter, what part was broken on the set you got? if it was the brackets that hold the lens in place then I am going to reinforce them with something - probably alradite - while they are out...

    Personally I wouldnt buy cheap lights
    I dont think it is worth the headache stuffing around with them, and most are bad quality

    Hellas or FK's are the way to go

    Was the bracket that holds the inner lens which was broken, could probably have been fixed but I was so pissed at them arriving like that I just demanded a refund (which i got luckily).
