I'm with AJP, I find them really ugly. Standard or ED30/R32 for me.  If they're looking a little dull, just give them a good polish up.

The Valeo lights just remind me of those cheap tat Lexus copy things that were 'all the rage' a few years ago.

The oem lights look right. They shouldn't be changed.

All according to my taste. Subjectivity etc.. Don't want to offend anyone with Valeos ;-)

If they look better to YOU, get them!!!

I have to say i like the valeos been on a look out for some for a while but fist thing i would do is smoke them slightly as i think the centres are way to clear!
