Before I fitted the Xenons I tried quite a lot of different bulbs and ended up with Philips BlueVision Ultra as the ones I liked the best and thought gave the best visiblity.
I drive a lot on unlit country roads in the winter months.
I think I still have the set I bought in the old headlight units, they also came with the Philips blue sidelight bulbs

I remember quite a few people were talking about what uprated bulbs for the halogen lights in the xenon thread in the maintenance section.

I've got Osram Nightbreaker Plus, they are very bright and well worth the money IMO.

Are the piaa bulbs a straight swap for the ordinary bulbs (non Zenon)? and I take it you dont get any error codes like i have read for the LED number plate lights? Thanks.

Just super powerful, I can't say if you get codes or not tbh as I had them on my Landcruiser  :smiley:
