Can anyone recomend me new headlight bulbs?

[Ibia FR 1.8T]

Hey guys, not wanting to go down the HID road but instead wanting to put better bulbs in my dipped beam. Had phillips blue vision years ago but i know there is night breakers etc.

Has anyone got some they can recomend that are better than the yellowy standard ones?
Also LED number plates bulbs?

Im going to use MTEC 501's as these are a really crisp white on my sidelights.

I use osram nightbreakers in the current car (corsa) and they're really good. Definitely better than standards.

If you want more light then go for Philips xtreme vision (+100%) or Osram NightBreaker Plus (+90%). Don't buy the older NightBreakers as they had a reputation of doing just that, breaking at Night. The new ones are said to have a much longer life.

I've got the Philips Dipped and Osram main beam bulbs and you can see the difference from standard.

I bought them both from http://www.powerbulbs.com/ If you search the net you may find a code to give 10% off. I can highly recommend them.

If you search a well known auction site you can pick up nightbreakers for around £15.
I don't know whether I have the older or newer versions, but I've had no issue with bulb life, they've been in for just over 12 months now.

I used to use Philips Vision Plus bulbs but changed to Osram Nightbreaker Plus and don't regret it. The Philips Xtreme's were a bit too much dosh TBH.

The older ones were just called NightBreakers. The new ones are named NightBreaker Plus.

+1 on nightbreakers, I have them on my ibiza they give off so much more white light and a lot safer. Well worth the money i think i payed £12 for mine of FleaBay.

I use Halfords own Ultra Brilliance brightness bulbs and I've noticed a massive improvement - they're 120% brighter. Plus, they always seem to be buy one get one free, so it's circa £25 a pair!
