You can replace any standard halogen bulb, other than an H2, with higher output "Xenon" types.

Avoid hype: the dearer the bulb doesn't always mean the better It's more to do with optical performance, (how accurately the bulb was made), than output.

Avoid higher wattage bulbs: you will probably need to uprate wiring and certainly fuses if you go to, say 100/130W bulbs.

Good choices at the mo are Osram Nightbreaker 90% uprated, as they are available for around £20 a pair on t'internet. Also look at Ring's version of the same, and Philips 80% uprated ones.

Do remember that any uprated bulb will not last as long as a standard bulb, it's because of the WAY they are uprated. Having said that, I'm just about to replace a Philips Vision Plus H4 that's been in 5 years!

If you have a car that doesn't use H4 bulbs, (and yours doesn't), I can also recommend an HID kit for dip beam, but remember that like higher wattage bulbs, they are sold "for offroad use"

Have a look at Bob5's group buy. He sells a lot on here and I've not seen any poor feedback
