MY11 headlights

I have heard that the standard halogen bulbs aren't great and some people upgrade to brighter bulbs. Does this apply to the facelift model because the lights seem to be different? I had a look on the LR website but couldn't find anything.

My uncle replaced bulbs in his FL2. Are the bulbs the same type and fitting in the facelift car? Confused

Thanks in advance

Pre MY11 are both H7.

MY11 facelift are H7 main beam and H11 dipped, some say it was a backward step and I found my 'main beam' adequate and the 'dipped beam' not so good. I replaced my H11 dipped with Osram Nightbreaker plus and the difference is noticeable.

By the way, some MY11 owners manuals (like mine) have printed the wrong headlight type, saying 2 x H11's per side for main and dip..

MY12 manuals say the same (at least mine does).

But it is clearly moulded on the headlamp, H7 & H11. Now: 2012 FL2 SD4 XS Orkney Grey
Previously: 2007 D3 TDV6 XS Tonga Green
Before that: 2003 FL1 TD4 "Kalahari" Black
