Best headlights? Brightest?

What headlights should I get? I've got those Phillips bulbs in my standard lamps but my lights are still dull as fook on dipp!!?

Change headlamp units to crystal versions will help.............
As would uprated bulb [strictly for off road use]

May need to 'man up' the wiring then though.. Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

I have got the cibe replacements in my 90 with Piaa bulbs very good light pattern, good white colour.
Europa parts for the light units and then mini spares for a set of stainless steel rings no rust ever (why oh why oh why dont they fit them at the factory) If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

once again you get what you pay for, best ones are probably them led ones that mobile center sell but last time i looked they were over £1000.00 pound i have just got a set of clear headlights they do the trick just get some nice white bulbs and your away, most kits dont come with the surround you have to use the originals

Cheers though id rather save £900 and stick with something a little cheaper but up to the job, cheers, I havnt got spots but just looked on tech part and someone's wired up spots through relay on dip beam? Even with four lights I'd still be about £700 better off?

I fitted them 2 weeks ago and they are a massive improvement. I thought about the LED ones too, but I'd be too worried about one getting damaged/failing after warranty (500 Euros gone

)
My 110 has a few large stone chips on the front already (a light on my Audi was broken several years ago) - not sure how tough LED lamp glass is... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

Do you have the Minipart Pt No for the stainless retainer rings? Steve.
