headlight / bulb question
sorry, i know this has probally been covered to death, but i can't seem to find the answer.
I have a pre LCI E91 330d with non Xenon lights What i want to know is there any bulbs that i can put in to brighten up and make whiter. Not looking to change wiring ETC just straight replacemnts. A link to ones to buy or what to buy would be great. lee |

Yes it has been done to death. Philips Extreme Vision H7 bulbs are what you need. Simple replacement and the best conventional bulb on the market.

I recently got some Halfords +120% H7's, they were buy one get one free (£29.99 each) and they're a massive improvement on the ones that were in and aren't at all yellow. If I'd have searched on here before hand I would probably have bought the Philips ones recomended by the forum members but I was in a rush. I also adjusted the headlights up a little as I felt they were too low. If you do this, don't go 3 full turns, it looks fine lined up against a garage door but on the road it's far too high as I found out . I went back down 1.25 turns on each light and it still probably could do with another 0.25 - 0.5 turns down (CW turn to dip CCW to raise).

Bought via Amazon, reviews for both bulbs are great there's not much difference between the two.
