Anyone tried these headlights?

Custom Motorcycle Project Headlight Car Low Beam New | eBay

Look cheap and cheerful, but I was wondering about beam pattern - being chinese imports the seller hasnt responded to my question, and to be fair even if he did reply I don think the info would be that accurate!

Almost certain they are not headlights, they are spotlights I think, tho' could be fog lights





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

got into an arguement the other week with a plank on the bay regarding lights he was selling as spot lights/fog lights
" so which are they - spot or fog?" I asked to which he replyed they are spot and fog.
"well fog lights and spot lights have different beam patterns so they must be one or the other - which is it?" I asked again
His reply they both spot and fog - they do both
Me

As said already I think they are just projector beam lights not headlights, they wont have a beam patern

Hmmm are the "E" marked?
Do they have the correct beam patterns? (already mentioned)

I would not want them on my car unless they meet ALL the regulations and marking conventions. Let alone work properly with the correct beam patterns.

In the event of an accident the Insurance company would probably reduce, or even refuse to pay out if they did not meet all the requirements for UK road use.

IMHO Its NOT worth the risk.

Jut my 2d's worth.

Absolutely NO requirement for "E" marking in the UK (with the exception of the rear fog light), however, beam patterns must comply - as I've laready said I'm 99% sure these are spot lights & therefore totally unsuitable as headlights (in the description they are "auxiliary lights"

I emailed someone who had left feedback for them and got the following reply:

Hi mate, don't wast your money on them they have already broke! One has filled up with water the other has blown...
