I need something done ASAP for safety reasons for countryside driving. The standard dipped beams have very close cutoff, are too narrow and too dim. Even full beam is nothing to write home about and I am also missing foglights (crucial for spotting deer in certain places).

What would you do to significantly improve night visibility for deer infested twisted countryside roads, under sensible budget?

P.S. Do you think deer whistle is anything worthy at all?

Many thanks.

Had the same car with the same issues. In the end I purchased 2 brand new light units from tps think they were about £150 each side.

Best thing I did, over time they deteriorate to the point that you're at with them now...

I had a similar problem and while good bulbs helped, I got some decent HIDs which made a huge difference - Not the ebay jobbies, I might add

I think this is where we are heading to... Could you recommend which kits are good, and which are not so good? I think I prefer a little more neutral colour as opposed to blue. Thanks.

I'm afraid not - this was about 7 years ago. I did, however, get them as white as I could but a little blue was inevitable....
