Mind you I've only just found that lot out so am probably not best qualified to answer here, in short I was told Xenon uses a Xenon gas mix rather than just halogen to produce a better brighter light. Well worth the upgrade specially with winter round the corner.

Three places I looked to order my xenons from were

Osram Night Breaker NightBreaker Philips Xtreme Power 80% 90% AutoBulbsOnline

which had a smaller range but better prices. Arrived in a day no problems

http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk

these guys had a bigger range but were more expensive even if I took the forum discount off the price.

Halfords for satellite navigation, bikes, car audio, car maintenance, car styling and outdoor leisure

more expensive and did not stock what I wanted

p.s. what did the 18" storms look like?????????????????

Can anyone point me to somewhere I can get some adhesive pads to stick a number plate on with?
Question - did you replace your running lights [position1] at same time and what did you get if you did
??
