I don't know what bulbs to use but I think the following 'DIY' might help.

I put some halfords extra bright in a few weeks ago and you can definately tell the difference, they are an absolute pig to fit though.

I dropped the plastic cover down the engine bay. Its still down there, had to buy a new one.

I did the same. Absolute bugger.

I did however manage to retrieve mine after approx 1 hour of trying.

What should be a simple task made harder.

Had to take the wheels and wheel liners out to swap out my bulbs

These Phillips bulbs come recommended
