64W is the older style angel eye.

Current options are at least 80W so a little brighter with more daytime visibility.

you should look at what the lumens output is, rather than the wattage. Wattage has no directly correlation to brightness.

Why not shop from forum vendors with trusted and proven products?

For what it's worth, I've had great experiences from LUX, HighPerformanceBulbs (via TGS), etc. Given that there's so much garbage out there, why not stick to what's been proven to work?

Uk shipping costs make the deal so expensive. Unless someone knows / offers something I'm unaware of

If they arent a name brand then then i can tell you with 99% certainty its false. sellers on sites like that constantly make their products sound better or use theoretical numbers, and not actual numbers related to their products. As jeff said earlier, i would go with something tested and proven by members of this forum

https://www.cartronics.co.uk/Cartron...-Eyes-in-Stock is one vendor located in the UK already that has products, and this is a link to one of them as an example. I recommend contacting them to see what else they have to offer. This will save you on shipping costs.

Same here... The peace of mind to know that my product will be delivered on time and in one piece is priceless. Don't mess with electronics from an unknown source.
