    The standard headlamps on the Mk4 are hopeless.
    Desperately need to upgrade ASAP.
    Any suggestions?

    There was a test to a group test on the popular ones on auto express's website (I think).
    I did put a link up on the old forum but it wasn't saved.

    Any given gutter, any given day.
    Why not just buy night vision goggles?

    Another vote for Philips Vision Plus here, although Osram Silver Star just beat them in an Autotrader test recently.

    You can read the test and order the bulbs online from Powerbulbs. I've ordered from them a number of times and they are a really efficient, friendly company to deal with.

    Look like they are only quoting for the lower-spec MkIII models which used an H4 in thier headlamps.

    As you say as you say, the GTI, VR6, etc. uses H1 bulbs.
