Yes, they are excellent and I can recommend them. They have main and dip beams and no need for a reflector in good condition. But, they do require a double-contact bulb holder, with these being suitable, No.4 on the list "BA15d" with level pins https://www.vehiclewiringproducts.co.uk/...%20holders
Of course, it means cutting out the old single-contact holders and soldering or "Aralditeing" in the new. To get the correct beam pattern, the bulbs have a black line on the body that needs to be at the top. So, when fitting the bulb holders, it's important to sure that they're positioned correctly. A final adjustment can be made by slackening two small socket-headed screws and the body rotated slightly. You also need to establish which contact is main and which dip - I had one the wrong way round....
The clearer the headlamp glass, the more exact the beam pattern. One of my cars has heavily dimpled glass that scatters the bean; the other is much clearer and the pattern very much better.
