Default Headlight bulbs for crystal headlights

Having to return the headlights back to OEM (they did have projectors in them) on my Type R due to them failing the MOT under [4.1.4 (c)] Headamp light source and lamp not compatible

So haven't had to buy light bulbs for a long time so have no clue as to what is good anymore (last time I looked Osram Nightbreakers were popular) so what are good ones to buy?

Cheers

Why do you need to refit the crystals? "Light source and lamp not compatible" Suggests you have HID or LED retrofit bulbs in a Halogen fitting. So just put halogen bulbs in the projectors.

If the beam pattern is wrong that's a different failure reason.

Anyhoo. Night breakers or Philips X-tream vision+130 was my go-to. But both Osram and Philips do a +200% now. I'd probably go for the Racing vision GT200 now.

Beware of counterfeit Osram and Philips on certain online market places...The packaging is pretty much identical to the real deal.
