Thats always an option but you can also buy a complete set of spanners there for a quid - I wouldn`t want to try and attempt an engine swap with them though :D

This looks like a rip off of this site to me.

No I do not own it, neither have I bought anything from it, but it does look interesting.

By ripoff do you mean the general appearance of the shop ?

If you do then have a look at www.oscommerce.com which is the software we both use to drive the shop - you`ll find many thousands of other similar shops which use the same software and look very similar.


Or do you mean products ? The only product I can find which is the same on that site is the heatshrink tubing (I`m a third of the price per meter than ultraleds by the way).

I see no other similarities between the shops other than using the same software and stocking heatsink.

I did some market research and asked a range of people who are into electronics and cars to suggest what they would like me to stock, listened to them then sourced what they were after.

What is on the site at the moment wont be my core business. I`m an electronics engineer and I specialise in car electronics. Products in the pipeline are head up displays which will display your speed as a relection on the windscreen, modular digital dashboard conversion kits (i.e. you can design your own dashboard using building blocks), data logging equipment, digital gauges, speed pulse conversion products and much more.

I know - criminal isn`t it (:¦

I needed a new bulb for my foglight and they wanted a similar price - I ended up buying a couple of thousand bulbs instead and setting up a site to sell them lmao

Bookmark my site for when you need to replace the other one ;)

Seriously though - the prices will stay low, I make a small but acceptable margin on the bulbs and I`m a good honest seller (honestly :D )

RE: Bargain headlight bulbs from under £0.60 each

I suppose I could have started it "hey I created this great website" lmao

I`d be lying if I said it was a great website but its sufficient to keep things ticking over while I get my core business sorted out :)

RE: Bargain headlight bulbs from under £0.60 each

Well make that a two post pony :D

Seriously though I had about 5 posts under another name which I cant remember and I think it was registered to my old NTHell account which I no longer have.

Not sure where the other post has come from (probably got 3 posts now :p )

I`ve registered this logon to my company email address so it will travel with me if I forget my password from now on :D

Bargain headlight bulbs from under £0.60 each

Ok - I`ll be straight up with you as its my site but I am a regular on here (bit of a lurker actually) and have picked up a hell of a lot of bargains from here :) (I dont know what I`m going to do with the spare Xbox from Argos but the games will come in handy for a Christmas pressie for the kids).

Anyway - I`ve set up a new webshop selling a variety of bits and bobs for plumbing bits into your car as well as stocking a wide range of headlight bulbs.

To give you an idea of prices you can pick up a H1 headlight bulb for 59 of your hard earned pennies or even a H7 bulb for under a quid ! Postage is fixed at £2.99 for orders under £30 or free if you spend £30 or more.

To give you an idea of savings, a well known car parts place will charge you around £5-£7 for a standard headlight bulb so a pair of bulbs off my site including postage will save you a fair bit.

Sorry if this is a bit spammy - I could have signed up under an alias etc and promoted it that way but its a genuine site with genuine savings and well worth a look.

Cheers
Dom
