Choc, bulbs can only go so far, I upgraded to philips 50% brighter bulbs but on dipped beam and full it makes little difference.

I fitted spots and the performance is amazing.

Get Philips Vision Plus H7 from www.powerbulbs.com - you will notice a difference

Ditto!!

Philips VisionPlus!!! Amazing the difference.
One of Mine blew a month or so back, so I'm trying the newer ones (supposedly with a slightly blue tint) in the Headlights now, and they're equally impressive. Vision plus in the Main Beams too!!
That's a HUGE improvement for spirited night time country driving! (Good on the Motorway too!
Can't recommend them enough!

The blue tinged ones aren't as bright as the 50% extra ones!

If you're serious about upgrading then go for spots.

Easy peasy to change - open bonnet, remove rubber cover, unclip retaining spring, swap bulb and reverse procedure.


Remember that your working upside down so replace the right bulb!! :p
