Well my retrofit xenons have gone up sh*t creek so i cant be doing with splashing out hundreds on another kit so im just going to go for some PIAA Extreme White. At £75 they are not cheap but they are as good as you can get without going HID.

No cheap(ish) bulb will come even close to xenon... PIAA are 4000K colour temp and Xenon are 4300K colour temp so really are as close as you'll get.

I've got the Philips Vision bulbs as well and they made a little bit of difference over the standard ones.
I got the Osram silverstars off the powerbulbs website and find them much better than the Bosch superbright ones I'd previously got from Halfords.
