Ok new bulbs will be bought asap (not going for HIDs yet) choices are between :

Ring Xenon Max

Or

Osram Night Breaker Plus

Reviews on both are good, Ring bulbs seem to edge it slighty, any ideas guys

I had Xenon lights on my Audi and when I changed back to standard Halogens on the BMW I realised how much better they had been. After trying a couple of brands I settled on the Ring Xenon Max bulbs which were a big improvement over standard. A friend of mine recently got a set of Osram's and having compared the two if I was buying another set of higher output bulbs I would go for them, they seem to have a slightly brighter light with improved beam compared to the Ring bulbs.

Getting car resprayed candy white again as there were a few dents in the door panels so thought I'd get the wheels done at the same time! google 'barr tech' and its the first link (can't post links yet:() I think that's their website!
