I am looking for a cheap alternative. Suppose someone here has tried these maybe?

http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H4-ABD-12V-60-55W-Xenon-Extreme-White-Bulbs-pair.html

How good are these things? I dont believe it would be difficult to change.

They should be fine mate! But I would also change your side lights so you don't have yellow bulbs and White ones! And fitting isn't exactly easy as you have to get the headlight units off of the car first, it would be an ideal opportunity to detango aswell though!

Yeah I would mate you cant really go wrong but like I said the hardest bit is when it actually comes to fitting them because your headlights have to come off unless your really really skinny haha!

These bulbs will produce nice crisp white light and are instantly noticeable over standard bulbs!

I am thinking otherwise because of the fact that the idea about these is that they are 'brighter'. I'd rather go for something with the same brightness but convert the yellow to white. seems like there area cheap alternatives for what I want after all!
