No you won't Don't think halfords sell them, well down here anyway, I went in for a pair and they only stock there own range plus Bosch Big Cry eBay is your friend here about £25-30 per pair posted, just make sure you order right ones as they have H7 low beam and H7 high beam ( thought they were the same bulb) also do H11 but if you type in freelander head light bulbs it or freelander Phillips x treme it brings about 10 pairs up Thumbs Up

thanks for that ebygum32, I also thought it was the one bulb for main and dip, so that means you need to buy 2 bulbs for each side ??
