To be fair to Tom, this is not an easy task. It's not his full time job. He's had a lot of other stuff on and he's trying to do a thorough job.

I know the timescales have slipped loads but there's always a reason for it and nobody's more keen or needy on these than me.

😂 I've had to go back to standard halogen and the lenses are so bad it's difficult to make out the bulbs behind them...

...but...if the Clubby outshines the VX, maybe you do win

...if that can be called "a win" 😁

How much are they going to be because I'm about to spend a small fortune on lenses and new cables and connectors for my original ones
