Heard good reviews for standard bulbs (non HID) they seem to be highly reated.

I've got Nightbreakers in mine, recommend them, much better than OE. I've also got white side lights that help make things better.

they are good, but over priced IMO. I went for them in the full beam, then got Halfords own make extreme bulbs at half the price and they were just as good


But as said already, once you've had HID's you'll never go back

From the sig it suggests he has a ZT or 75... so there you go, shows how much attention I pay lol

back in the day when these first came about most Mk1 ZS's seemed to fail MOT's with HIDs because of beam pattern - the guy selling them bulk actually stopped supplying them for the Mk1 ZS totally, so there's every chance they just don't work that great with the Mk1

mine were ok but didnt shine very far up the road atall. they were adjusted to max height on the adjuster on the headlights and in the car itself and still didnt shin very far. i think the problem is that the bulbs didnt fit correctly at the top so were 'pushed down' a little bit and pointed more at the road just in front of the car and not the road further up in front of the car
