Others have reported shortcomings with the non-European lamps offered by the BD which make them all but useless. I Have used Cibie in the past and found them to be to my satisfaction. Over the last 20 years I have been using Hella products with no complaints so, when I buy lamps that is the brand I buy. The best deal I have found for Hella's is from Susquehanna Motorsports. They seem to stock everything that Hella makes, the shipping is fair and the packaging is without fault so you do not have to worry about your lamps turning up in more than one piece. Rich |
