I saw earlier Doc referring to H11 bulbs, what are these for?

D1S it was sir, for dipped and main beam (via shutter) in xenon headlamps.

You are a married man and should know better. :shocked:
Sadly, I don't think they will do quite what you require as well as Bi-Xenons. You might see a bit more leg, but that's it. :sad:
But, they do have Xenon gas in them. :grin:
I just want to see those over productive pot holes more clearly.

Sorry, I did not today as I am a lazy sod with a very bad left shoulder. Will try insertion tomorrow before 12 noon.
Promise I'll post on this thread and will also attempt pictures: before and after.
