Best Halogen bulbs?

Hi all

I've just swapped from an e92 to an e90 and I'm already missing the xenons. What are the best options to upgrade the standard yellow candles?

I use these in mine, eBay item 301072449681

You won't be able to use the side lights if yours is an lci but the bulbs themselves are really good for £5, I've got a set in my van and her mini.

Ring Ultima Xenons (see http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=756240) or Osram Night breakers plus.

I use Philips xtreme vision H7 and I think it is the best bulb out there for light. I used to use Osram night breaker H7 before but I think the philips bulb has a better cutoff and longer reach. Just forget the blue coloured bulbs, they are only for show.
