Just to add, teh H7 ones in the high beam unit. Change them out for the Osram 65w ones. These are basically a H9 bulb on an H7 base. Weel over twice as bright.

Maybe one of our site sponsors can get them at a better price? Not exactly common though, you certainly won't find them in Halfords.

Cheers. Might pop two of those in. I'll get those Philips ones, and report back once fitted.

Lights ordered and being delivered tomorrow. When I looked at the lights up against a wall they seem lined up but are they lined up correctly And, when I turn on the lights they start off bright and dim down a bit, on the D3 when I put them on they started dim (ish) and went bright. So maybe the gas is clapped out. Anyway gonna get new un's all fitted and lined up at the MOT garage I use.

This is very interesting, my normal driving lamps don't seem great what would be good bulbs to upgrade too both normal and main beam? Am assuming that's it straight forward to swap them round?

Also does anyone know if there is a switch in the headlamp unit when driving abroad?

yes there is, its up for the UK and lever down for euroland.. ... - .- -.
