My headlights are shockingly bad!. Don't expect them to be upto modern day standard but they are v. poor.
Is it just a case of decent bulbs? or can i go a little further to improve things. Dont want to stray far from the ph1 look though.
Cheers Nick

Decent bulbs like osram nightbreakers make a noticeable difference, you could also upgrade to some ph1 twin optic headlights but good luck finding any :-\

As ozone said twin optics make a big difference but they are hard to find!

another +1 for night breakers. Still have a set in our old P1 and they are fantastic. Other than ebay it is a good idea to keep an eye out on eurocarparts special offers as they often have them on sale. I would avoid the really expensive 'gold' ones and just go for the normal nightbreakers for the cost though as I seem to remember the difference was significant last time I got some for the P3.

ok, so nightbreakers make quite a difference but the headlights need a good refurb or replacing. Drivers side is knaked but managed to bodge the back for now.
They are on a ph1 and take H4 bulbs but how do I know if they are sigle or twin reflector? or is twin reflector twin optic?
a tad confused after looking a fleabay.

twin optic. they take h7s I think.
Mine were amazing with nightbreakers. Fyi: HIDs are illegal in those headlights...let alone just a chav badge
