Having come from a car with xenons to a non xenon car, obviously the bulb brightness isn't as good.
Could someone please recommend an uprated bulb kit that will brighten up the road?
I would like a HID kit but it looks like you have to do a bit modifying to the bulb holders to get them to fit.
Cheers

Osram Nightbreakers are about as good as they come.
Please don't fit a HID kit. Apart from the legalities, light scatter from non suitable reflector headlights etc, you'll look like a chav that is pretending he's got proper xenons.

Cheers for that, are they H7 ?

H7 bulbs are H7 bulbs, whatever car they are in.

Just fitted the nightbreakers last night. Anyone recommend side light bulbs. Sorry for hijack. cheers gal.

Phillips Blue Vision are a very good match. They have very blue glass, but don't let that put you off, they put out a perfectly white light that fills the reflector, unlike LED's that just give a bright dot.

What was outcome with new bulbs, any good? Looking for some full beam bulbs

I fitted osram nightbreaker unltd they are a whiter light and a bit brighter the side lights are phillps blue vision they are blue glass but i disagree in that i don't think they produce a white light they still look slightly yellow to me

Sorry to piggy back on the back of the thread, but is there a way to remove the headlights so that I can replace the bulbs easier? As I am really struggling to replace the bulbs.
Osram nightbreakers all the way!

Which bulbs? Dipped are ok to replace not masses of room the side lights are attached via a push/clip in plastic holder drivers side ok use pointy pliers just pull stright bk pass i had to remove airbox for access remember when fitting bulbs wear gloves as if you get oils from your fingers on them you will great a hotspot and burn bulbs out quicker

You have to remove the bumper to remove the lights fully, however you can take out the top screws (there are some under the grille section), this allows a bit of movement. Be sure not to use too much force as you can break the bottom connectors and mark around the screws/washers to ensure that you do not mess up the adjustment.
