   160w is almost Rally Spotlight spec, far better going with Daybreakers ect
   You making a night rally car or something?
   Needless to say sport Rally bulbs won't be road legal or pass MOT ... But you get instant access to the elite league or retards with bulbs that are too bright for road use

   I run 100w bulbs and theyre bright enough. Have to dip them a bit as otherwise i get flashed.
   
   Edit: also upgrade the loom as otherwise the current draw melts it. Mine came with about 3" of thicker wire to plug between the two, does the job but id feel better having a proper loom in.

   Agreed with the above. There's a reason they're illegal.

    If you do get these you should only use them for full beam, imagine that when a lorry leaves it's like on full blast
    If you do get them let me know what there like

    They are illegal but still only appear as bright as the usual hid brigade. Dip them down a bjt and youll have no trouble

    You dont need such bright bulbs on a low car such as a saxo, on a high ground clearance 4x4 maybe
