E46 light bulb upgrade

[Sticks.]

We recently bought a 55 E46 330ci and, unsurprisingly, the standard halogen headlights aren't as good as we would like.

I'm only going to go as far as changing the bulbs, but before I do I wondered if any PHers had done so and could recommend some. Are the 'xenon' ones legal? Otherwise it looks like it's between Phillips X Treme and Osram Nightbreaker.

Thanks

The facelift Coupe has projector lenses so if you were to fit an aftermarket Xenon kit it would be very difficult to tell without looking under the bonnet that it wasn't OEM. You certainly wouldnt be blinding people with it.

As to the legalities, you could argue all night about that, which would suggest it is nothing like as clear cut enough to be an issue..

Thanks. I'd read about the projector so expected them to be better than my 51 330d was, but they're not imo. Won't be doing anything other than putting in 'better' bulbs but just wondered whether they were all of a muchness or some were better than others.
