Another quicky. The halogen headlights on the above are not good. There are threads here on upgrading/swapping to bixenons but not after that. Quick non-tech answer please. Are there any difficulties in just upgrading the globes to a better output?

Thanks in anticipation.

Have a look at these, we changed over to these on our Amarok, make a huge difference.

D4 Halogen is H7, go with either 50 plus or 100 plus in white, either will be good

Ta. I wasn't sure whether it may interfere with other electronics given the sophistication of how everything integrates.

Don't go the intense - a waste of money - perform like a basic globe with blue glass in the bulb. They are definitely not 4200K.

That's why I only mention the plus 50 and 100 in white.;)

These are available at Supercheap by the way, we put the Plus 50s in the Amarok.

The only downside to the Plus 50/Plus 100/etc bulbs are that they don't last anywhere near as long as the originals. Hint: carry your originals as spares! ;)

I have found that where I have used them in other vehicles. More expensive but shorter life span for a better light.

The alternative is keeping your eye on eBay UK for a pair of bi-xenon headlamp assemblies, and then activating them in the CCF with a Faultmate or similar.
