   when i was driving my clio the lights were pants!! so i put in some osram h7+h1 bulbs for dipped and main beam and they where fantastic!
   
   when i got my saxo it had angel eyes in already and the bulbs are bloody fantastic in them, not sure what they are though

   I always thought they were quite good. Better then most of the cars I have had at least. Are you positive yours are aimed correctly? Are they standard lights? Not tinted or anything daft like that?

   Ive seen the +90s from halfrauds in action and they are not rubbish by any means. Must be something wrong with your headlights, or your used to a proper HID setup which compared to halogens is poo.
