Just realised I may not have posted an update.

Changed for OSRAM Nightbreakers.

Brighter and whiter but not significant.

Going to check / extend the beam angles next - Top tip from BigD.

Fitted the Osram Lasers last night, they were certainly brighter and whiter in the garage than the OEM candles, whats the best way to modify the rubber covers so they fit over the right angled connectors?
How do the bulbs come out of the driving lights, do I have to remove them first?

Me and BigD got the covers back on as-is just by heating them to make softer and pliable.

Driving lamp bulbs are smaller with flex spade connectors I think?

Maybe try SELOC TechWiki for details of removal? Haven’t changed mine, dip beam was / is priority
