Has anyone tried any of these things, there on ebay for small amounts of money and figured i may give it a go, just wondered if anyone has tried them out and if there even worth the 10 pounds? Also if anyone has a picture of them on id be appreciative!

if you mean sidelights they are crap and wouldn't worry about them. I've gone through 3 sets in a month and they are not worth bohering with
If you mean headlights you're best off with HID's mate. Well worth the money that they cost and look great
If you don't want HID's then I had XenonMax bulbs and they were fairly decent but otherwise HID's every time

Hope this helps

ive just got a set of H4 bulbs
the bulbs themselves have blue on the glass so from the front without lights on you can see the blue reflecting around
with lights on its brilliant white with a very slight dash of blue
will get photos up when i can mate!

Yeah i dont think hids are for me, for some reason police in my area like pulling me over and checking every in & out of my car :( yeah if you can get some pictures up thatd be awesome cheers!
These are H4 so arent Xenon style, they are xenon, difference is because theyre not such a high kelvin (temp) like H6 onwards, they dont need balast, which is what the HID kit is
The lights, dipped beam (didnt see you mention sidelights you see)

you dont need anything else, just take out your old bulbs and replace with your new ones

And remember to hook the metal clip you take off when changing the headlight bulb back on as ive seen it shatter bulbs if it hasnt been put back on!

Don't seem to last that long IMO, better off getting the ring xenonmax
