For example:
- normal 55W
- Mega white whatever the fk that means
- Super white (blue). I tried some of these blue ones and they're sh*t. In fact, it's unclear whether they're legal.

H7 exotica
A headlight bulb blew last night, so before I just pop into the parts shop on the way to work on Monday I thought I'd ask about whether any of the various exotica is any good.
For example:
For example:
Current: 407 2.2 HDi 170 & C6 2.7 HDi.
Former: 406 1.9 TD; 406 HDi 90; 407 2.2 160; 307cc 180; 508 HDi 140.

Re: H7 exotica
ive only gotstandard ones but i think anything over 55 watts for nornal beam is illegal,also can the rest of the electrics handel the extra power eg wires and alternator.

Go for premium. Osram/Phillips.
I've heard nice stuff about the nightbreakers. Last more than normal stuff and give you decent lighting performance.

Re: H7 exotica

Re: H7 exotica
I have Osram NightBreakerPlus H7s on the Coupe, both for dipped and main beam bulbs. Very good, really noticeable improvement over standard bulbs.
I won't go the HID route until I know what VOSA have planned for the new MOT regulations. If after-market HIDs aren't outlawed, I'll get some fitted.

Osram Nightbreakers!
I've had the lot and these are the best at the moment.
(my headlamps are always on so I get through my fair share of bulbs
)
I got my last set from Amazon for about £16.00 - they used to be £30.00.
