Just got my bulbs got them for £24.49 with my 30% discount.

Little tip for any one wanting stuff from eurocarparts.online

Add to your basket then exit eurocarparts, and next day or sameday you will get email with a code for 30% discount.

I just hope they are brighter them factory bulbs. Do I need to get lights re aligned again after fitting them.

Thanks for that, I'm thinking of getting the exact same bulbs, i don't think you have to get them realigned but to get the best from then you can....

Can you report back and let us know if the bulbs really make a difference, i did want white bulbs but apparently white is no good for dark rainy nights :-/

Another vote for OSRAM Night Breakers.

The OSRAM W5W 501 halogen sidelights are available on eBay. The light output is, allegedly, the same as a 21W bulb.

However, make sure that you get the halogen ones, with the drawn-out bit on the end like a halogen headlight. Unfortunately, OSRAM also do a "normal" version (which looks like a standard W5W 501 bulb with a rounded end), and some sellers still mention "halogen" or "xenon" in the title and/or description.

Just had Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited H7 installed for dipped beam in my mk7.5 Fiesta. What a difference it makes. The light is definately brighter, it reaches further to the side, and thanks to having my lights adjusted, it also reaches farther ahead (not sure if it would had done that either way, as I haven't tested it)

Definately recommended for sheer brightness.

Also if anyone is interested, the stock bulb in my Fiesta were Philips - unknown model though.

I have night Breakers and they are brilliant. May get mine looked at as they don't seem to shine that far.
