Default Best headlights

The headlights on my 98 T2000 are crap. Phillips Brilliance bulbs made a slight improvement, and UKXenons made a slight improvement over that, but they're still crap.

So what's the best conversion to go for, bearing in mind I'm after illumination rather than style? There's the Morettes @ about £300, and the BMW-style ones @ about £125 AFAICS. Are the Morettes so much better?

Yes on several counts:

They give main and dip on the outer pair, with extra main on the inners. The other type, AFAIK, have on pair for main, one for dip.

They are relatively easy to wire, and you get everything with the kit.

They are reliable, and don't burn out the wiring, as SOME others have done.

The outer pair can have H4 uprated bulbs in them.

They look cool, IMHO.

The only downside, apart from the cost, is that they can be pain to set up, but once done are good.

Don't forget to specify if your car has electrical height adjustable lights

I'll second the Morettes. I took mine off as i was offered a healthy exchange for some crystals from a late classic. These are nowhere near as good as the Morettes though.
