I have just changed the bulbs on my Insignia for the nightbreakers (as TB says VX dont seem to great on lights ) I got mine from Amazon I think they were £21 inc p+p
I am really impressed with the difference they make more so on main than dipped though

I agree with TB,I've owned many vauxhalls and yet to have decent dip lights on any of them,my Signums dip beam for a 140mph car is shocking,main beam is good and was on my mig as well.

it's now a match for the HIDs on my Mv6.
Blimey :o

Seeing as GM always have universally shite headlights, and a HID'd Omega is no exception, the standard Jag ones must be really, really bad :o

you're not wrong.....  biblically effing awful on dipped beam.... merely barely passable on full beam,        on dip,   i could probably have seen more using an iphone flashlight app.   the new bulbs make a helluva difference....

In my experience they light up good but last very short, even the people who sold them to me admittet to them being rubbish  :P
Osram ultralife on the other hand have yet to break for me, had them for at least 2 years now
