Whats the difference between the different manufacturers?
Theres some on ebay, but theres something just not right about them.
Which ones are best, and where is cheapest to get them from?
Actually, same goes for smoked rears aswell.
Cheers.

for rears, people tend to go for MHW's, and for the front iirc, lots of people go for depo's.

MHW's are hard to find, look for Irmscher, cost 30 quid more but are better quality according to most and easier to get hold of

fronts closer...
FK Clear:
(note the cover on the bulb)
Arteb front:
Note the lack of cover on the bulb.
Depo headlights... note the unclear front it's hatched/slatted (not sure if thats the right word  )

Just to wind some people up....
I've heard from a number of people that the Irmscher rear lights although very similar are actually a better build quality than the MHW's... they don't go all skanky inside (i think Fad and Rob B had this problem with their MHW's)

So the FK's are the better because of the clear lense & the bulb cover.
Are the Depo ones, the same as what are on ebay now? the link was posted up there earlier?

FK and Arteb have nothing in it tbh mate the cover makes little difference iirc, I have the arteb one's and they look great  I know Matty G wanted to remove the cover of his FK one's so u may wish to do the same for some reason and therefore go for the Arteb ones but if it dont bother u then either way....
Depo one's are the ones on ebay basically a standard light smoked, the front cover isn't clear thats the main difference and also a lot of the Crystal clear ones (FK and Arteb) are LHD not RHD like the Depo's so you'll get flashed a lot
