Hi All
my standard headlights are absolutely shite
on the dark mornings I can hardly see anything in front of me and not enough power to light up the road markings/white lines
can anyone recommend the best method to improve or upgrade my lights
replacement bulb types for example without causing other issues like I need to get them programmed/coded to the car
i don’t want to spend too much money so the cheapest effective improvement from standard would be great
thank you

If the lenses are cloudy then I would start with that, If not then it really just because its a standard halogen bulb. You could try a better halogen or even Xenon/Led retrofit but you would only see a slight improvement.
Honestly you are better off getting a set used set of factory xenons(projectors) and getting them installed/coded. It should only be a little more than buying new bulbs

Ah OK
good advice. Thanks
will look into finding a used set of xenons then and hopefully make the driving experience a little easier
