Phillips do their 'SilverVision' line which I've always used, Osram have a their version which actually looks a little blue before it turns on, do not buy a cheap pair off ebay - some have actually been painted rather than coated! This leads to them getting hot and going bang - I've seen it happen.
The front bulbs in the Monaro are offset pin, check this as if you get the opposite pin version they will not fit!
I got Silvatec ones for the front, and have yet to do the side repeaters.
It is a fiddly job, but here's a brief how to.
Open bonnet.
Remove cover on front of engine (lays over slam panel) - easy to do remove 5 push fit clips
On pass side, remove the little flap by the headlight, has one screw in it.
This is where it gets fiddly, as you now need to remove the bulb, I found it best to remove the back of the dipped beam access first as it gives slightly more room. Then the indicator bulb twists out. I found it best to remove the wiring first then twist and remove, and swap bulbs. Refit is reverse of removal.
Driver's sdie you will need to move (but not disconnect) the battery. However thought a plastic clamp on this is a good idea needs shooting.
Once battery moved, you can access the indicator bulb, no need to remove wire or other parts of light this time, simply twist out and change bulb.
Securing the battery was the hardest part here, but still not exactly difficult, just needs to be done properly!
