also worth considering what colour you want, you can get some that have a nice blue/white colour instead of the standard orange. im running 10% brighter ice blue bulbs, tbh they look to give the same range/brightness but look alot nicer from outside and give a more natural light and are completely legal. but in half light they dont show up as well as orange bulbs because they blend in with the natural light, if that makes sense

What monkeyman said, I had the Philips in mine a few years ago and they made a big difference over standard bulbs!

I have the philips bulbs in my phase 1 lights and they are a big improvement over standard bulbs, however, phase one headlights are not very good by todays standards.

I have the Osram night breakers in my (dare i say it) angel eye headlights and they are very good and produce a nice crisp white light and have had them in for about 18 months now Smile
