Go on Halfords website and put in your reg on the bulbs section. Will tell you all the different bulbs for your car! Osram nightbreakers are best, as stated, but can be a bit pricey! I'm running Halfords 120% brightness bulbs (can't remember their actual name but its the highest they do) but they have just started a new range of xenon upgrades so might be worth looking into them

I bought a set of 2 472s and 2 501s off egay for a fiver with delivery. They are the white tinted ones though

As working for halfords i cant see any difference in the quality of bulbs to be brutally honest.

The new hid wanabe kits from halfords arent road legal as theyre 80w or 90/100w

As said from halfords best will be 120% brighter range, and theyre buy one get one free at the moment

Why is there even any discussion. Osram night barker plus+ are the best bulbs and have been the best for 4 years in a row. They are £12 ish so will hardly brake the bank.
