   Xenon bulbs is a broad term, generally you get what you pay for. The best ones are the PIAA ones, they look almost like HIDs. But theyre £50.
   
   Either way youll need H4 ones unless you have angel eyes or morrette lights which often take H7s

   Okay thanks, do they last longer then normal bulbs?? £50 is quite alot for something that might blow 3 months down the line...

   With standard headlights you can only use H4s. Im not sure about the sizes in morettes or angels though
   
   And PIAA are definatly worth the price i learned that lesson by blowing god knows how many cheap brand bulbs

   im pretty sure osram or phillips come as oe bulbs, so could be worth getting osram bulbs
   plus they are good bulbs though and alot cheaper than piaa, and will work just as good,
   
   i wouldnt go for bosch bulbs though stay clear of them lol
   i found out today at work that for some reason bosch put cheap chinese bulbs in their boxs but only in the uk, if you get them from any other country you will actually find it is a osram bulb, this is why there soooo cheap for bosch standard bulbs from motor factors
   
   most other decent bulbs will all work just as good though, phillips are good too erm the list is endless mate
