Best headlights? (excluding LED speaker type!)

Hi All,
Just got the RDX grill coming this weekend and was about to upgrade the Phillips brilliance bulb (Halfords offer) and noticed some moisture in one of the lights.. so thought I better replace the whole the units.. what is the best set to go for?
Wipac/crystal/SVX 60th with sidelight/Halogen? seems to be a lot to choose from and I am no expert. I want the best and brightest I can without spending hundreds or thousands..

Also would like to order today for weekend delivery

Thanks
Nick

Wipac Crystals. Bought from Paddocks. Mine also have phillips bulbs.

Might also be worth considering getting stainless bezels too while your at it seeing as it's all got to come out anyway. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

I'm going with the LED SVX lights on the rear of the 130, same as I had on the 110 - and you can buy them here

But likewise, can't decide what to do on the front ....

me too. After a quick search on internet, I found LHD crystal headlights at Island4X4. Apparently their are britpart, probably lower quality than Wipac. Any feedback on the Britpart lights and shop?
