But there are som many choices ....

i bought powerwhite bulbs from www.u-cars.net (i think that is the address, its a rally car supplier)

they are 100/80W but with xenon gas i think that is supposedly 30% brighter. With cibie front headlights, they are the best combination i have ever used. A Honda S2000 passed me on the motorway with fish-eye bulbs. My headlight beam was as bright, but slightly longer in distance as he pulled directly alongside.

FWIW

I went for Phillips vision Plus H7 as they give more light than the 'blue' effect ones. They certailny are whiter than standard bulbs and give more consistent soread of light than standard bulb.

I fitted the free 'blue' sidelights too and they great-they actually light up a crisp white and don't look like blue led (which I personally thin are naff unless you a fully modded car with undercarriage lights, then it just blends in).

If you go to www.autoexpress.co.uk/product_test/ and look at bulb tests there. Powerbulbs also give a PH discount. The code is : HFAKF330
Hope that helps.

I bought two packs of H7 silverstar Osrams's a while ago from them.

Quick delivery and ok bulbs.

Peugeots just have naff reflectors I think, not sure but the beams still are not really good. The light is nice and bright, but I think the coverage isn't great, so maybe to do with the lights themselves than the bulbs.


If your lights ain't great to start with try good legal H7 Silverstar's in the dipped beam, and put some 80W rally bulbs in the full beam, afterall your not going to be full beaming people anyway.

Still, after I fitted my legal ones I get people flashing me quite often now, so they must be good. Won Autoexpress bulb of the year 2004 or something...

I brought some Osram Silver Star bulbs from Powerbulbs last year.

Highly recommended!

Aren't 100w bulbs illegal for road use, (and b annoying/dangerous if lights not set-up correctly) ?
