Default recommendtions for bright bulbs

as the title staes i know all the who haa about mot's and th new regulations regarding hid after markets and so on, but we all know also how crap classic headlights are so my question is what are the best bulbs for bright light/lighting the road so you can actually see it lol!!

that are just plug and play no kits and legal but that will also make a noticeable diffrence to night driving??

Harvey Smith has done quite a few tests on this and currently rates Philips Rally 100/90's, although so-called uprated bulbs are good ,so long as you buy known makes, Osram, Philips, GE, (Halfords are GE made, and currently on BOGOF).

Avoid anything purporting to be Xenon, having a blue tint and any cheap unnamed copies, they are mostly junk.
PIAA are MASSIVELY overpriced and nowhere near as good as they advertise

Been through many bulbs in my time (PIAA, Philips etc) and have settled on the Halfords Super Brilliance Blue (not blue at all) Very happy with both dipped and main beam performance.
To be perfectly honest the only car i've had which i can truely say was awsome in the light stakes at night was my Elise and that was plain a simply because of the optional driving lights. Is changing the fogs for driving lights an option?

As above, a decent set of driving lights is worth having.
