I used the exact set in my old E30.
They were pretty good for the money,good display of light,but didnt use the sidelight bulbs so cant comment on these.

Sold the car with them in,and couldnt be bothered ordering another set so just got Halfords 100watt ones,which are just as good or better IMO :)

If they are cheap, they are cheap for a reason, they won't last long, go to powerbulbs website and order some Osram silverstars or Phillips blue vision.

Ive just bought some Power Blue H1's from powerbulds.co.uk as they are running a "Buy one getone free" on them, opened the box this morning to find a extra pressie in there of a pair of the Phillips Bluevision Ultra side light bulbs !!!
