Up untill now i just thought its the fitment thats different...

i think at least about 30% of car models have H1's as headlights...

Just get some decent ones... I got 2x Philips plus ultra vision or something .... claimed they were upto 60% brighter.... for £10 i think.

Theyre certainly very bright and very white!!!

the higher the k rating on the bulb the whiter the light.. i have 6500k h1 bulbs and they are proper white..normal bulbs are 4000k and are yellow....

Cheers, that the exact site i was looking at, they dont mention the rating on any of their bulbs....... How annoying. Maybe if i get 1 set, and see how they fair. And if they are good, i will also get some for the full beam.
