As above, dont have the Zenons and therefore headlights are not fantastic, am planning to upgrade the bulbs but dont know what size they are (both dipped and main) had a look in the handbook and it was'nt clear.

Anyone know?

Thanks.

Have used PIAA 'offroad' bulbs in the past - they're as close to Zenons as you can get with 'normal' bulbs.

Thanks.

Have just ordered the latest PIAA bulbs out called 'Chrome Mirror White', they sound a bit chavvy but produce 110W and only draw 55W, have used 'Xtreme White' in the past with the same 110w/55w but these new Chrome bulbs produce a whiter light, should get them tomorrow, will give some feedback.

Have cost a few quid though!! - ?140-odd including postage, never mind hey, the standard lights are shocking and I can obviously swap the bulbs over when I sell the car.
