   wanted to know the most effective form of xenon headlights for saxo's. i understand HID setups are abit of a bitch to other drivers, links and comments will be much appreciated.
   
   also my VTR seems to be missing the interior light, what bulb size do i need to replace?
   thanks

   http://www.powerbulbs.com/product_detail.asp?prod=191 is the best halogen setup in the market atm but if budget is a problem you could try osram night breakers.
   
   The interior light uses a w5w.

   Don't bother with halogens mate - especially at that price.
   
   Xenons are the only way forward if you do alot of night driving...
   
   Loads of people on here will piss and moan cos to the letter of VOSA regulations, you need headlight washers and automatic levelling, which obviously isnt going to happen very easily on a saxo!
   
   First thing you need for Xenons are a projector lens - so angel lights or morettes.
   
   Then you need a Xenon kit (probably H7, 6000k) off ebay for about £50.
   
   Then get them properly aligned at an MOT place for £20.
   
   Best night time lights you can get - whatever anyone says..

   Their the same as your sidelights and numberplate lights
