Osram nightbreakers are great, haven’t fitted them to my caddy yet, but I’ve used them in all my vehicles and they’re amazing! Halfords also do a similar version

Re: Brighter lights
I've used those, they are good. Currently using Philips Racing Ultra White bulbs and they are great too.

Re: Brighter lights
I was going to suggest Halfords 200% brighter bulbs i have them fitted not perfect but definitely a good improvement on the original and a damm site cheaper than new headlight units

Re: Brighter lights
Tried the Halfords 200% brighter bulbs and they are a slightly better, bluer light than the regular H7 bulbs, twice as bright they are not.
The Osram night breakers almost identical out of the packet, only marginally better than the Halfords ones, with a bluer light. For the money about £23 both are a worthwhile upgrade.
