Have a look here

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk

Select Product Reviews and scroll down the list for H1 and H7 bulbs. That should help.

Yeah they do seem good, I've bought quite a few sets of various bulbs from them and they always arrive next day.

Go to www.volvotuning.com and you'll see how to get a 10% discount there too.

Philips Bluevision are probably the 'bluest' not HID bulbs you can get, but Philips Visionplus are much brighter.

Hi.

I am using Bosch Laser Blue bulbs. Excellent light intensity and very blue (from the car in fronts perspective) I have been reliably told. Also people do seem to get out of my way on the motorway for no apparent reason..... :-)
Only problem, £20 each and my T4 takes 4 of them not including the fog lights!!
They are available from Halfords.

Cheers,
Dan.
