Osram Nightbreakers are whiter than standard, but don't expect them to be as crisp as xenons.

I've heard very good things about Mtec bulbs http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/categories/mtec-bulbs

The second pic is just 501 parking lights, not the Mk6's DRL/Main beam.

501 w5w yes I have the side light for that but there are two bulbs within the second pic for mk6 and I am after the larger bulb which I have ordered the h15 bulb from the website? That wrong? If so what actual number do I need for the larger bulb in the second picture?

You've also got to remember that 100w bulbs are illegal for road use in the UK! IIRC 55w is the top limit.
As Dubber has also mentioned, the current draw will be far in excess of standard 55w bulbs and you run the risk of either/and   burning out the wiring to the bulbs/melting the plastic of the surrounding headlamp!  :shocked:

H15 is the DRL/Main beam bulb (large one). Although there is no whiter halogen replacement available for this.
W5W is the sidelight bulb.
H7 is the dipped beam bulb.
