They're made by EGR. Down Under LRA sell them (rebadged as LR) for a considerable profit judging by what our antipodean cousins are paying for them Shocked
They're not perfect, don't fit closely at the top so mud & water gets down the gap (when I get round to it I'll put some sort of seal across the top) and scratch fairly easily but as a pair is 10% of the cost of a single replacement front light cluster they're pratically a 'must have'

Must add that in that picture they're not fully fitted, there is a small metal bracket that screws into the hole at the top, hooks over and then can't be removed unless the bonnet is opened The End

I do, no issues so far, there is a gap between them and the glass. Xenons don't seem to get very hot anyway in my experience The End
