Anyone using any in their V70 56 plate or the like or what have you done to improve the lights?

No good for headlights, the light output area is too large and the wrong shape, meaning you won't get a correct beam pattern - result, instant MoT failure and almost certainly dazzling other road users!

Those are much better, the arrangement of the LEDs mimics the size/shape of the original filament so gives the correct beam pattern and very bright lighting!
Yes, they're more expensive but it's one of those things where you really get what you pay for. This gives you a rough idea of how the LED bulbs perform :

That's in a 32 year old 760 so the reflectors aren't the best but for a more "real life" situation, these photos taken a few minutes later.

Those speed limit signs are about 1/4 mile away to give you an idea of the perspective. The LED lights also show up animals eyes so it's easier to be alerted to their presence before they run out in front of you!
Colour temperature is near daylight so is more relaxing to drive at night too.
