Replacement headlights

[Davros]

Hello fellow Z’s
I’d be very grateful for some guidance please on replacement headlights. My 3.0i is a RHD which I bought in France 2 years back; it came with a new Control Technique which has just expired. In years passed it has satisfied CT requirements with beam reflectors fitted; but my local test centre says no more. So I’m looking for replacements. OEM units are silly money (2000€) and I want new units rather than S/H. I like the style of Halo Projector units and have looked at possible suppliers on mainland Europe (so I can satisfy the various EU CT requirements) and there are several options, all with mixed reviews. So, before I take a leap of faith, have any of you got any observations or recommendations, please.

While I’m here, time is getting close - so happy Chrimble and a healthy 2026.

I fitted a set from here https://2xcite.co.uk , originally the all chrome version, then put originals back in but they wouldn’t adjust to pass the MOT so ended up fitting the black version. The beam is projector and in my opinion so much sharper than the originals, the DRL’s are a nice bonus.

Thanks David. The units look ideal yes, but no but I need LHD headlights. I've mailed 2excite to see if they can let me have details of the manufacturer so I can source locally, but I imagine they are one of many Asian variants. I wonder, does your set have any indication of source?

I am pretty sure they lack markings, will have a look when it stops raining. I recall when I bought these I had found a set identical but at a better price, on reading the fine print it turned out they were LHD so they are available.
