Headlight bulbs
As on a previous thread I'm after pure white headlight bulbs. I've seen a few on eBay by the same company. Do I go for 55w or 100w?

Not really any such thing as "pure white" headlight bulbs. Even HID is a bluish-white.
If you want better bulbs to SEE by, (as against to be SEEN), then buy big brand bulbs, Philips Vision Plus, Halfords Ultra Brilliance, (made by GE), Osram Nightbreakers, all available as between 80% and 100% uprated, ie they are the same wattage as standard, but PRODUCE THE LIGHT EQUIVALENT to between 80% and 100% brighter.
At all costs avoid cheap copies, no matter whgat their claims.
Auto Express have shown on numerous occasions that a decent build quality STANDARD bulb puts more light on the road than a 100W cheapy.
Also to be avoided are PIAA.....yes, they are decent, but nowhere near decent enough for their price. Halfords are BOGOF at present.

I was considering these.

A mates got them, but in 100w as main beam. He thinks they're ok.
