Cool, will order a set up this weekend, and decide whether I want to install the sidelights or not, or I guess the question should be whether i want cut hands or not!!

Use some pliers for the side ones, you'll be fine lol. If your going to do a job, do it properly and change both :)

I put the Osram Nightbreakers in this weekend. Get my vote a very strong crisp white light!

I went for the Philips X-Treme Power H7s for the full beam too. The blue vision side lights were an improvement also.

The speed of delivery and and service from powerbulbs was excellent...

I am looking to upgrade my lights as my bycycle lights are brighter than the factory installed GTI ones.

It looks like a 50/50 split between the Osram and the Phillips. Are they both very good as i am totally undecided was to which ones to go for  :huh:
