As above bit the bullet and got a set of mtec V3 bulbs for my lci headlights. Quite impressed with them as i think these are the brightest option without going down the orion mod route . These are not quite a direct fit as you need to modify the original bulb holder. Also took my eyebrows out and done them black
Modified bulb holder , basically cutting top off from where the fin type thing on the holder stop , then the top part will slide over the mtec bulb and wedges onto position . forgot to take a pic of this stage though

Well spotted mate , when i first installed the white leds on the lights , didnt wait long enough and the sealant i used didnt set properly and let water in , tried to dry out but over did it with the heatgun and melted the eyebrow so fitted the pre-lci eyebrows which only have the 5 led

Wow, the black eyebrows look great! I may have to do this mod. Thanks for the idea.
