Anyone "upgraded" bulbs on a Pure (Halogens)

I'm thinking about swapping the HB3 halogen bulbs to better match the LED DRLs and just wanted to ask if anyone had explored bulb options?

Not sure I want to go as far as HID. Looking around there is an Osram kit with whiter than standard bulbs which are road legal.

I have orderd a set of Ring Xenon Max bulbs from fleebay (just under £18 delivered) and will fit when I get my car in a couple of weeks time. I have the H7 type in my other car which also has projector style headlights and whilst not as bright as proper Xenon's are noticably nrighter than any other upgrade I have tried. In terms of longevity, they have done over a year in my other car, and the lights are set to be on constrantly.Very Happy

Halfords do legal xenon bulbs .Straight swap for halogen bulbs(about £50 a pair)I was going down that line but then ordered the xenons when they were put back on the list.

I can 100% recommend these bulbs. That said I never drove in the dark with the original factory bulbs, but having just sold my last car with xenons I would say these bulbs are 90% there - for less than £20 you won't be disappointedThumbs UpThumbs Up
