New xenon bulbs
Drove in the dark for the first time in a while and think the time has come for new bulbs
Any recommend?

Osram is a good brand. Choose between xenarc original, cool blue intense and ultra life... although I wouldn’t bother with the ultra lifes.
I’m sure there are others (Phillips comes to mind), I’ve preferred osram.

Yeah, I wondered about that slightly as usually if the xenons get old the color would change.
For high beam, H7 Osram Night Breaker Unlimited is what I have.
A light bar in the front might be good if the OP needs even more visibility in the front ...

His signature mentions Xenons?
D2S 4300k which is std colour, the higher the number the bluer the light is and the more of a cock you look!

Low beam is D2S, high beam is H7. If you toggle high beam both will be on.

In the UK D3 high beam is all four headlamps on at the same time, not sure on export motors?

Yes, points to Pete K for decoding my engrish. Both low (xenon) and high (H7) beams are on if you toggle high beams or flash someone.

They are bi xenon. Meaning a mirror or flap moves to allow a larger beam pattern on main beam.
If you flash someone with your lights off. Only halogens come on.
