Legal upgrade for Classic headlights
As many of us know the Classic headlights are poor to say the least.

Osram Night Breakers get good write ups and won't break the bank as a kick off

I went with the nightbreaker unlimiteds. They are a lot better than standard bulbs.

Another vote for Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited, Amazon is usually cheapest reliable place to get them. Paid £14 a pair last time I bought them.

Halfords Rally bulbs in mine and they make you able to see in the dark
As said avoid HID's.

TBH, they are a tiny % better than the older types.

Agreed, although they do benefit from proper alignment. I wonder how many people have problems due to this.

My v3 hasn't been on the road for a few years but I ran 100/55 bulbs in the crystal type headlights.
