Default Philips VisionPlus headlights

Anyone using them? After much research I think they are what I will go with as I need to replace the main headlight bulbs on my 03.

For the cost, why not just get a brighter HID kit? This is the kit I had on my last S-Type, had them for three years without any issues... HID Kits, BMW Aftermarket Bumpers & Lighting, DEPO - DDM Tuning

Worth noting that HIDs are illegal in the UK unless they follow the various rules (must self-level, must have headlamp washers etc).

(And of course tell your insurer if you fit them. Likely they won't care but they need to know.)

I can get 2 of the Philips bulbs on Amazon for $19. I'm not real handy around cars and I'm trying to improve what I had but not do more than I have to.

Hi there

Ring 120+ are the best, but the Philips are practically as good.
