Osram nightbreakers or halford uprated bulbs when there 2 for one,

Don't bother with HID's more hassle than there worth with H4 headlights plus there MOT fail now and all they do is blind everybody else as headlights arn't designed for then,

Silver look indicator bulbs and LED bulbs for rest

To clarify the hids yes they are better than standard bulbs,no they arent failable on mots as i ran mine with them, if the right ones are chosen they dont blind on coming road users (55w do 35w dont), they are easy as hell to fit (even a trained monkey can do it ) and yes you might slightly adjust the tilt on the headlights but i didnt need to tho sorry guys if ya think im ranting but just want to state some points across as ive uad too many people say the same things when i put them in my corsa but i never had any problems and they gave better light and didnt blind anyone.
If it ain't green and black send it back :D

H7 won't fit, need h4's
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

If unsure, go to one of the window tint/car wrapping type of places. They usually do HIDs. I payed £140 for tints and HIDs in my vectra.
