Can You tell please what bulbs I need to upgrade from the original bulbs,as they don't appear to be strong enough,Thanks.

They're standard H4s so any legal equivalent will do.

Amazon and flea bay will have loads, or your local car shop.

Out of interest, do headlights get dim (like me) with age (like me)? Just wondering

Could be me, the bongo or both of us?

Driving at night is like driving with a couple of nightlights in the front. I have put in some ceramic connectors but no change. Or is it because I have just got used to the brilliant headlights on new cars.

Another thing to consider is the state of the "glass"

Its always worthwhile checking the Reflectors....no shiny no light. Also an MOTT failure.

I sorted this with a pair of 100w spotlights wired up to come on with main beam. Works a treat. I have a fender defender bar to mount them on but people have mounted compact ones in the radiator grille (with suitable cutouts)

Interesting. "Glass" had good clean a year ago. So maybe I treat Bongo to fresh lights this Christmas.

Osram Nightbreaker bulbs are a good alternative and not too expensive.

i used night breakers for years, which are very good but these are even better.

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-mainte ... non-ultima.

in the review on these xenon ultima 120% it mentions night breaker plus which are said to be better still, but i have not tested these (plus) ones.

all the above are a crisp white light and not the tinted blue annoying ones, they do make your side lights look yellow in comparison though.

just found these night breaker unlimited which this review says are better than nigh breaker plus.
