Sweet much appreciated guys
I'll give an update once installed Smile
May end up having to put crystals in as well but I'll do this first.
After a test period, if they're good enough it will have saved me a lot of money Smile

Surely that depends on how much driving in the dark you do...

Bang on Thumbs Up Also knowing there is a higher output does mean a slightly shorter life span. But the improvement is so good it's worth it!

Phillips in my volvo lasted a year, thats 14,000 miles with the lights allways on.
Cheepo bulbs from local spares shop last about 3 months, and with the amout of skin I loose fitting them the scars have only just healed in that period of time.

Update
New bulbs are a million times better.
The "main spread" area is lit in a nice sharp pool of very bright white light and where the light spreads beyond that with less intensity you can still see very well.
Still adjusted the headlight angles for perfection but still incredibly happy!!
Thanks guys

Afraid I don't have before and after pictures as I really needed them fitted
