Default best and brightest headlight bulbs without going HID

as above really, decided against the HID road due to possible glare to other road users, so wondering what bulbs people can recommend are any brighter and whiter than standard cheapy halogen ones. for a 1998 classic. cheers

Philips Vision Plus 100% uprated, or Halfords in a gold box, BOGOF in winter.

there is a member on a US site, Taiden on RS25.com, that does HID retrofits. zero glare issues, amazing quality, and easy install.

website is www.brightnightcustoms.com

Or have a look here: https://www.scoobynet.com/lighting-a...mpler-way.html

Easy enough to do, so long as you get the simpler kits, like the ones I used.

Total outlay is around £250 if you already have crystal lights, add another £60-£80 if you don't.

Anyone that needs help, apply, I could be persuaded to help if you come to me.
