The lights are poor at the moment. I could also do the clean routine but I notice that the lights on my S Reg Fiesta are better right now!

They used to be arse-buckling expensive, even used, but might be worth a call to the sponsors. I'm sure people have retrofitted them in the past without issue - nothing overly special about them in terms of design.

Bulbs are the deciding factor with any headlight, and condition. If yours are milky or reflector is worn then new bulbs won't help as much.

For non-xenon bulbs I've always sworn by Philips Xtreme Vision Plus as they're about £20 a pair from major ebay sellers - I used them in the main beam support/flash in my bi-xenons and for front fogs. They burn brighter so the downside is a shorter lifespan if used as your main bulb - in our A6 you'd get a failure after 2 years.
