    Hi All

    Now that the evenings are a lot darker I have noticed that the oem headlight bulbs are pretty rubbish !!

    Has anyone upgraded the bulbs? What can people recommend for decent light output and good life expectancy?

    I’m also looking to upgrade the front fog lamps, full beam and side light bulbs too.

    Thanks All.

    I've used Osram nightbreakers in my B5 passat, which has pretty poor headlights. They do make some difference although the b5 passat lights are still terrible compared to most other cars I've driven.

    Your headlight bulb is an H7.

    Have used Osram Night Breaker bulbs before & they are an improvement on the OEM bulbs on earlier Mk7’s
