i find the satandard bulbs just aren't that bright and i often to long distance night driving. what have you found to be a good bulb? any pro's or cons at all?

many thanks for your time

I've got the round lights, they don't so much light the road as much as 'bathe it in a soft mood lighting' which is bordering on downright dangerous on late night dashes around west-lake district trying to find a spot.... i toyed with the idea of getting big square lights tbh... sorry i don't have an answer... i just thought... i'll go now...

Take Mockis advice, I bought some of the "sooper-bright wizzbang white neon-plasma-vortex-hdi-like" bulbs, they hardly make any difference. The wiring upgrade detailed on Wiki is the way to go, quite straight-forward to do, doesn`t cost much and will make your standard 60/55 W bulbs do what they are supposed to do. If you wire it with proper cable you can always upgrade to bigger wattage bulbs as well (100/80 for off-road use only

notably using a relay to power the lights, see the wiki!Ã‚Â¬

And if the headlamp glass isnt marked with "H4" get some of them, the std cheap ones are crap, the H4 has a much better spread.. so with some good quality bulbs (Philps or Osram) and a relay kit, you should think the lights are magic..
