If that was the type that was onFinnys old sapph there is one problem with them - you can't get at the headlight bulbs

I put a genuine 500 cooler in mine and it has loads of clearance to get the bulbs out, plus they are proven to be one of the best out there.

argueably the best in the country! Soon to be proved by ROD! To silence the people who are very one sided on who's best ... I am VERY close with the lads there and i work round the corner to them. I may be able to get you a discount if you want one for you but will need to go through me .... My car uses all there stuff....And so did my award winning fiesta...

Simply all you need to know is if Rod is willing to fit there stuff in the fastest top speed cossie in the country who else is better??? As said others will argue that others are better but thats because of CAR POLITICS! simple as....

AH will use a differnet design or core i should imagine thats why they give better results. Pay off is the cores will cost more to produce so the product then costs more.
