Are these lights good value?
As title, need some lights which are iva friendly.
Have stumbled across these which have side, dipped and main beam.
7' Black Headlight/Headlamps Westfield/Caterham/Locost on eBay (end time 20-Apr-11 09:55:52 BST)
Thoughts please?
Thanks,
Andy

Assuming it's per pair and not each price seems good. I paid more for same sort of thing but chrome s/hand.

I have a set from boltonbits. Good value and quality is good. I thought it was great value compared with CBS equivalent.
 
Outside at last

Probably o.k, I would coat them with waxoyl or similar inside, and out (waxoyl will polish up if you leave it a day then buff, believe it nor not).
Probably rust from the inside out but keeping them clean and waxed will help slow/stop this. SVC are probably better (properly chromed ect from what I
can make out), but I would guess the CBS ones are simular to the ebay ones..

They look physically identical to the chrome ones I bought about 7 or 8 years ago as a temporary fix for my SVA - and they're still on there!
Chrome lights
They've gone up in price since I bought mine (or the Pound's gone down, more like). I paid around £40 for a pair, not a single!)
If they are the same ones, they give a tremendous light output - the reflector's much bigger than you'd get in a typical modern car.
Reasonably well made, but you will need to keep an eye out for the first signs of rusting. Every time I wash the car I give the lights a good going
over, followed by a coat of Mer polish. There are some vague pinholes of rust in the corners, or that may just be squashed flies...
Doing the inside with Waxoyl is a good tip...
