Plus look at this. Someone compared the cheap Ebay projector kit with a Morimoto kit that's about 5x more expensive. They look almost identical:

Ebay dipped:


Ebay full:


Morimoto dipped:


Morimoto full:


Ebay is £25, Morimoto is about £125. Morimoto's are a little sharper, but compare the ebay ones with the standard 986 halogen beam pattern - it's a world of difference. Not a massive difference in performance between these two kits, but a huge difference in price. Build quality would be the other thing, but time would only tell.

I appreciate the offer in giving me a hand too

Sorry man, this is non-sense and pure ignorance. If you categorically refuse to install those that we put in porsche cars here (for some weird reason?!?), at least do yourself a favour and install the morrimoto. Minimum.

You'd also like the Ultimate ver from aes. Equivalent quality as the morrimoto but I like to think that they surpass them

The ebay kit illuminate the same (yes), however after a just a few hours of use the optic's reflecting coating burns out and off they go dark (48 hrs). All of them, ask me how I know. Finding optics that are properly coated and actually works took a long time here.

You've been warned. If you want my help well there it is.
