I recommend the brand "tiny monster" they work amazing in my p2 v70. Just had to aim the lights after install.

Always align the marks and the paint on the belt/cogs can be used as a backup in case things get out of alignment. I like to put paint pen marks on the actual timing marks so it is easier to see.
