Certainly make your lights brighter but unfortunately they are illegal to use on the road. Any lighting on a vehicle has to have E marked bulbs in compatible E marked fittings. As the existing headlight units are not E marked for use with HID lamps they can't be used on the road. I use these on my 300 tdi, I find them very good and a lot cheaper. http://www.consumabulbs.com/content/Osram-Car-Bulbs.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came fitted with osram bulbs. I couldn't be more satisfied. High beam lights up the road and road sides well far enough ahead, and low beam provides lots of light as well as having a very sharply defined light pattern so incoming traffic is not bothered. They were really cheap as well. Paid more to replace the bowls they sit in than replacing the lights & bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
