I think most 360s have the gas discharge lights which, certianly on mine, are very good.

You might be able to retrofit them but I'm sure the price will make you wince.

Other options to try would be the Osram or Philips high intensity bulbs. The light on my Caterham were awful and they made a huge differance.

Product Application:
How Do I know what kind of kit to order?
With so many makes, models and trim levels of vehicles it is important that you check and make sure what type of bulb your particular vehicle needs. You can find the type of bulbs your specific vehicle uses in several locations. One place is the head light lens, the bulb type will be molded into it. Another place is on the bulb itself, the bulb type and wattage will be printed or molded into the base. The vehicle owner's manual may also tell you what type of bulb you need for your head lights and/or fog lights. If you still cannot find the bulb type you require we suggest you contact your local car dealership and inquire as to what kind of bulbs your vehicle uses. Once you obtain the correct bulb information you may order the corresponding HID conversion kit.

Will I have to modify my headlights?
The XenonDepot HID conversion kits are designed to be plug+play. Our custom moulded bases will ensure you will not have to modify your vehilce headlight assembly in any way. Furthermore, the wiring harness that is provided with our product will plug directly into your OEM headlight harness with no wire splicing, tapping, or cutting.

Headlight Bulb Cross Reference:
H4 bulb can be referenced to as a 9003 or an HB2.
9004 bulb can be referenced to as an HB1.
9005 bulb can be referenced to as an HB3.
9006 bulb can be referenced to as an HB4.
9007 bulb can be referenced to as an HB5.

I believe the 360 has HB3`s.

I asked my dealership about putting in osram bulbs, they were concerned about the heat they may produce against normal bulbs?

Don't see why, the power rating of them is the same but they are more efficient and give more light out.

In fact, same energy in, more light energy out, ergo less wasted heat energy.
