If anyone has any pics or details about the models above that they'd like me to add, please let me know direct and I'll edit the posts accordingly. Alternatively if I haven't listed them above, please add your own reply/pic/summary to this thread. Hope this all helps someone.

That's all I can muster for now during a night shift and on my phone. If any mods wish to tidy, please do. I'm envisaging an Argos Catalogue type thread of LED lights when it's all finished and updated with others inputs! (Thank you to those I've borrowed pics from)

The most expensive choice I can find.....Genuine Caterham LED Headlights. £1200 to £1400 for a pair, depending on size....come with bowls. Not in stock in some options. Some mention that one half of them is not always lit on full/High beam and some owners have found the cheaper options brighter. But mixed views. Personal view is they look the best, still a bit classic and without the robot appearance of some of the modern options.

JW Speaker Internationally very well regarded....and priced accordingly.....seem to be between £600 and £800. I can't find any Caterham owners who have fitted them so no information as to fitting in the bowls etc. Believed to be technically superior to most others. Different designs available

The higher price options: JAL Caterham LED upgrade. Circa £750 for a pair..... Same internals as the Caterham factory LED ones below. Positive reviews and I believe most in keeping with original lights. No cheap similar ones on ebay..... (My current personal front running option to go for all things considered! Just rather expensive so haven't gone for them just yet)

Wolf Performance...£350 approx. Popular in the world of Morgans and still plug and play for Caterhams. No DRL if that bothers you.

Wipac offer these.....seem to range from £450 to £550...were definitely available for less several years ago. Generally believed to be properly tested etc. Can't find many Caterham owner reviews. The three small black screw holes may not suit our cars aesthetically...they were more aimed towards the Jeep/Land Rover owners.

We then sort of jump into the £300 to £400 region..... JAL have these as an option......approx £325 all in and come with bowls in silver or black. JAL have now been in contact and confirmed these are not the 'cheap' ones in disguise.

Seven and Classics: Still around the £100 region and do look very similar to some on ebay at half the cost.....can't seem to find any owners commenting on them....

Wisamic - Mentioned positively in a few threads and sub £100 but all links to them now show unavailable and can't find any UK sellers.....

Cafe Racer: Various models available. Discount codes available on their own website and they also often send offers on eBay if you watch some of their listings. Definitely some opinion that they are simply the cheaper eBay ones with stickers on etc but most seem pleased. No evidence of MOT fails found. https://youtu.be/8pH_TwGbJtc?feature=shared

As a few have mentioned, there are numerous scattered LED headlight threads now and no easy all in one for those considering buying/changing/upgrading. I've also done loads of research in the last few weeks and hopefully the below will end up being a quicker and easier up to date guide with most of the information in one place. I've based my comments either on my own experience or forum comments from owners of the products in other threads. General points - Fitting seems straightforward plug and play on all options, with just some minor changes revolving around DRL wiring. Therefore I won't comment too much on this aspect per model. Delivery times on all (even the cheaper ones from Chinese sellers) are days...not weeks....it seems most of the ebay/Chinese registered sellers now use UK warehouses. Warranty time all seem to range from 2 years to 5 years. I won't go into sizes too much as nearly all are available in the two common choices....5.75" and 7"....personal preference. Not surprisingly the 7"s always seem to be slightly more expensive. I'll start with the cheaper options: Delivered in a few days....easy to fit....very bright on the road....MoT fail due to beam pattern. Seller gave full refund and paid return postage. (I bought two sets to check it wasn't a faulty pair). An eBay search will reveal literally hundreds of cheap options and some owners have passed MOTs with these fitted....bit of a gamble I suppose but some of them are so cheap it could be worth it... Similar sub £50 options below....no guarantees on authenticity of markings or legal beam patterns.....Ebay is your friend at this price point!

You pays your money and takes your choices!) For anyone interested, the Chinese ebay seller sent me a return label and gave me a full refund......I'm still on the hunt!

Interesting..... the packaging of their own ones in that video is identical to the £30 set I bought from ebay...... I was hoping they'd compare the two below....

Is this still available please?
