Now down to £33! NICE!

Is it worth getting some H7 main beam bulbs to go with it?

Many Thanks.

Thats lot better price then I paid year ago, must be one of the best price for a D1S.
I have Osram night breakers. Its colour is lot less yellowish then the std ones and you tend to see the yellow colour more with 6000k xenons. Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto

I think the blue colour bulbs don't look nice, kind of stand out in thehead light (when off). Osram bulbs I have is mainly white with a small blue colour ring at the top end, so dont look too bad, but I would have prefered a clear bulb (which means less white light). Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto
