I used Osram Nightbreaker plus in mine (H7s). They made a noticable difference. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

Wales 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Auto Fuji White

I've just put Osram Nightbreaker plus in my SD4. 2xH11 and 2xH7 with 2 Osram 501 halogen's.

It has made a slight improvement but not the 90% Osram claim.

Will Try the Phillips ones next time just to compare.

If you go for the Nightbreaker's have a look on eBay for Powerbulb's shop. They are cheaper than their main website with free delivery. MY11 Freelander 2 Sport LE Fuji White
