Apologies to all regarding this matter, and for any inconvenience caused, I made a BIG mistake over these bulbs.

I ordered HIs as per This forums advice, but when I received them I took the rubber cover off the back of the bulbs in my car and noticed that there were TWO connectors on my bulbs but only ONE on the HIs.
It has been so long since I have changed a bulb that I forgot that only one of these connectors is actually on the bulb, the other one being on the bulb holder !

So I made the stupid assumption that they were the wrong ones and made a bit of a fuss about it.

I have now fitted them and they are an improvement and yes they are definitely HIs for dipped beam.

Just one of the many benefits of getting older I suppose,  anyway, sorry guys.  :'( :-[

I need to go for a drive somewhere darker to be sure, but so far they don't seem much different to the original bulbs in mine  :'(

There is a chance someone had already fitted upgrades ???
