Headlights - latest thoughts?

My 2008 HSE has standard candles in the front that, although long-lasting, are pretty feeble. This hasn't been a problem up to now but we've recently started a regular trip to Truro in the evening and so I'm now struggling.

What's the latest thoughts on replacement bulbs? I don't want to get into large-scale conversions from standard but do want brighter lights. It would be nice if they lasted a fair time before blowing out.

Thanks, guys. Ours - 2008 Stornoway Grey HSE Auto

Mine - 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super Sport Matt Black
Ours - 2007 White Bailey Pageant Champagne

Contrary to many opinions I found Halfords 100 or 110 plus H7 bulbs to be very good and make quit a considerable difference in my 2018 FL2
Tried Nightbreakers in 2013 model which uses HB3 bulbs, very dissapointed. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone

I did a semi scientific test on H7 bulbs. Have a look at my post (with pictures) near the bottom of this page: http://www.freel2.com/forum/topic18287.htm...lamp+bulbs

I'm using the Halfords bulbs as well and have done for years with no problems.
