Default Headlight - Halfords $15 to change...

So i've had a dead headlight now for a while and wandered up to my local Halfords at the weekend. They said they'd change it for $15....which is pretty neat considering the dealer quote i'd gotten before for $280....

Question is, anyone know what bulbs I should go for? I'd prefer to upgrade them from the OEM's in there right now.

They sell Bosch purelight (Bosch 477 H7), GE Megalight Ultra +120, GE 477 H7 +130, and then their own versions.

Stupid question, but why wouldnt one just go for the brightest bulb available?

I see a lot of Polish lads driving Audi's, Merc's etc with really white bulbs.....but read here that they might look white but no good if you're in the rain, fog etc.....

What i've read here is that going Xenon's (this is HID, right?) etc require ballasts and a chunk of change. So looking for plug n play....

And the off she shelf HID's they sell won't fit?

Sorry for all the questions but a bit bamboozled with it all.....

I did email a company, I think it's Trups? But didnt get a reply.....

thanks again folks, any feedback would be great....
