I don't have any photos now as my new car came with xenons

the ones I had were actually 40% brighter and on the country lanes they were alot better, these are 90% ones so will be even better

I have a set to put in the full beam in my car as the are standard, but will the xenons on full I doubt I will be able to get a photo that will be visable

I'll do free postage for you too if it helps Very Happy Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Hi Sambuca
I have fitted the (Philips blue vision) Bulbs there give a much better crisper light slightly bluish then the standard bulb.
Which is a yellowish light?
There take about 20 minutes per side to fit, but there are 2 bulbs to change dip and main plus the side light bulb which come in the kit, there cost approx £26.50 a pair
(2 x h7 bulbs with the 1 w5w bulb).
(There were voted the best buy – out of 30 bulbs tested- 2009 in the Auto Express magazine 14-20 October 2009) All the best Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy
