Hi,

I need to improve my H7 & H1 lights (Opel (Vauxhal in UK)  VECTRA.

I am fed up by the poor quality, power, and nearly yellow actual color  :-((

I want to stay street legal, i have seen in France a brand called "RING" 
.... RING ARTIC WHITE, Ultra Xnon.

We don't know this brand, it seems to be more popular in UK. what about 
quality and performance?

Other choice ?

Do you know some best brands..? Or web site information?

Many thanks from France ;-)

Osram 'Silverstar'. Stick with these and you will get more light, better
colour and good lamplife, without going for illegal higher wattage lamps or
lamps of poorer quality with uncertain life & performance.

I'll second that.  I've tried Philips Vision Plus and Osram Silver Stars as 
recommended by Auto Express magazine.  My vote goes to the Osram, slightly 
brighter than the Philips and have lasted longer so far (2 winters 1 summer 
vs. 1 winter 1 summer).  www.powerbulbs.co.uk sell them but I got the Osrams 
cheaper from www.maplin.co.uk .

CHeck the voltage at the bulbs is actually 13.8V as well, dirty contacts  
can lose you a lot of light.
