   I'm after a pair of white headlight bulbs but I'm not sure what I can get which are legal. Could someone tell me details about which lights I can get? For example; H4 55w Xenon HID or whatever lol. Cheers.

   Well I've looked into both, and going off ebay prices, the osrams can be had for around £12 while the philips are around £20.
   It's just whether you want the bright white look, which sounds like the philips are better for.

    Aldis regularly do a sale on headlight bulbs, wipers etc. I tried their blue tint and also their 50% extra bright ones, as good as more expensive ones. 5 quid

    The Philips Xtreme Vision H4's are £22.80
    
    Osram night breakers are £17.15 on their website. Still similar to eBay prices.
    
    Or there's Philips Vision Plus's for £13.99

    Both Lidl and aldi. The offer comes up regularly along with other car bits. Their wiper blades also are dirt cheap, last long and don't squeak. The blue and +50% bulbs are xenon.

    What's the difference between the colours, like I just want normal brighter lights so would I go for the plasma white or max ice?

    Ebay item number: 261117386369
    Go for Metal blue mate it looks the best out of them all.. plasma white is not as white as plasma blue I've tried one in each headlight so I could tell the difference and the metal blue was more whiter and brighter.

    I got some cheapy bulbs from "The Range" they're higher wattage than standard bulbs but they're wank. Can't tell a difference from my old ones.
    
    I'll be trying the Philips ones next
