Rip-off Britain

Hi all I needed replace a side light

of my Honda Jazz so went to Halfords They wanted £2.99 for 2 bulbs, the Bosch brand was £3.49 for 2 bulbs. Every else was between £0.80 and £5 for 2 bulbs.

Checked on Amazon and found 10 for £1.10 including shipping.

Britain is the rip-off capital of the world and LONDON is the King when it comes to prices.

Can you do better?

Is that a Britain thing or a general high-street thing? Online shopping eliminates some of the overheads and has more fierce competition since all competitors essentially operate next-door to each other.

seanspotatobusiness It all depends on how high the Google search your product comes.
For the best deal you have to go through many pages to find the best deal.

I replaced mine with led :slight_smile: for a few £ for 2

Lets see how long 10 bulbs last maybe I should have got LED ones.
Are they as bright?

much brighter mate and look so much better than those horrible yellow ones :slight_smile:

not the best pic but u get the picture :slight_smile:

Beware some cars won’t like LED bulbs if they weren’t there from the factory. You can bring up failure alarms and high end cars such as BMW won’t be tricked easily with a inline resistor or whatever

Well they work ok in my Audi TT :slight_smile: and my seat Leon cupra and my mates VW Scirocco (new shape) :slight_smile: both the Audi and Vw are canbus and work fine.

They are very bright. They look like if you have you head lights dipped.

Yeah they are very bright, but they have also passed multiple MOT’s from different garages, i have also had a mot inspector ( that the guy who tests the tester ) look at it and PASS them :slight_smile:

May get it from Ebay.com for only $0.99

Are these the same as yours charlestt

Notice I said high end :wink:

Or these

What a £30,000 car isn’t high end ?

How2 those ones look ok to me :slight_smile:

they should be ok, the ones i have linked to are what i have installed in my cars and they have very good customer service if one fails in a short amount of time they will replace it FOC !!

Never tried a bm though, don’t know anyone how has one everyone i know who wants this sort of mod had a vw/audi group car

I’m getting this as your get 2 for $0.99. The other 2 seller only give one.

Rip-off China. :money_mouth_face:

Was only kidding mate, I know BMWs are fussy in particular.
