so by the sounds of it at some point this year we should have a good supply of brand new patened lamps of all types for all ZTs and 75s probably a lot cheaper than rimmers or xpart could supply brand new MGRover items, i thought id post this as i know some ppl on here are in the same position as me looking for halogen projectors and even reflector halogens or xenons which although are in good supply second hand this is not always useful as second hand parts generally dont have a warranty and a lot of insurers only fit new, this may help people like me when i had an accident in my ZT-T last year it was written off because both xenon headlamps were damaged (only the brackets) and as a result wrote my car off because new genuine ones came to best part of £1000 and there were no patented ones on the market and they wouldnt fit second hand or even repair mine

Pricing is key but this is excellent, I REALLY want projectors.
