Well the cheap bulbs work a treat and are very good at night. Went for 6000k and they seem much improved, but not bright enough to look like a tt. Cheers for the recommendationsmile

Cheap in price, but very well made

The Lunex ones get rave reviews and a lot of us use them; worth having a spare set in at that price too!

If you want to pay more; the best option IMO are the Osram ones:

Is that the Lunex ones? Still going going well a year on?
Not looking for anything over blue, just OEM spec and look.

Finally getting around to this (cant believe it's been a year), as while they usually still work fine it is getting gradually worse and also have started to fill up with damp, so for £100 ive manage to get a new-old-stock headlight unit of ebay to save messing around trying to re-seal it.

I sold the E46 in June and they were still going strong.
