I would like upgrade my headlight bulbs from the stock bulbs
Does anybody have any suggestions? I have use Phillips Extreme Bulbs in the past on other cars and they have always worked well!
Also can anybody confirm the types used for this model
Many thanks

Usually HB4 and HB7, check the glass at the bottom of the headlight, it will be there.

I vote for Philips Diamond Vision 5000k (you need to see if they are street legal in the UK)

Re: Headlight Bulbs
Taken from Philips site:-
Features and benefits
• The colour temperature of these bulbs is 5000K
• The colour and brightness of the headlights in the visual is not an actual representation of Philips headlights
• The whitest upgrade available
• The Philips Diamond Vision bulb does not offer a greater light output but provide a white light for enhanced styling
• Philips Diamond Vision H7 Bulbs are not road legal in the EU
However in 2 years time maybe!!

Re: Headlight Bulbs
I used Osram night breakers and they are brilliant.
Re: Headlight Bulbs
I previously used Osram/Sylvania Silverstars and am now using Ring 100% brighters. They make a significant difference on low beam. The only thing to watch out for is that these kinds of bulbs sacrifice longevity for brightness, and in my case I actually had both fail at the same time.

Re: Headlight Bulbs
Have always put Osram night breakers in all my cars(apart from the ones with hid fitted) and never had a failure with the light output far better than Oem.
