I find the headlamps on my 928 poor and was looking for an upgrade, has anyone any ideas on what I can fit - either new bulbs or new headlights. Thanks

Hi :)

I fitted 140 watt bulbs (obviously for off road use only) ...got them from Halfords... made a HUGE difference...

All the best Brett :)

I bought the Halfords Briliance bulbs. Made a big difference and not a worry that you will over load the wiring and cause anything to melt.

I bought the Phillips Extreme Power - 150% brighter. They are definately brighter, not sure if 150% though.
These are the brightest bulbs I have been able to buy that are road legal. Have tried the city - blue version and the country - white version. Phillips technical helpline got some specialist form the lab to chat to me on the phone & he recomended the night version as the brightest and the best colour temp.

These cost me about £25
