Last week, my H1 bulb gave out. For a temporary urgent fix, I got the AA to pop round and put a standard H1 bulb in.

The minor issue I have now is that since I replaced the bulbs a few years ago with extra-brightness ones (but can't remember which brand) the old near-side light is now much brighter than the new off-side light.

I fancy replacing both bulbs (so they match). I am torn between the H1 OSRAM Night Breaker Laser 150% Next Generation 12v 55w and the H1 Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 12V 55W Halogen Bulb.

Anyone have either fitted?

The H1 are the high/full beam surely 
xenon D2S are the regular dipped beam lights or H7 on non xenon cars

I just remember clearly the AA man saying "that's an H1. I've got one in the van." It certainly made the dipped beam work again.

Dipped beam H1, main beam H7 according to the sites I just checked.

I'm getting my rusty Vauxhalls mixed up 
I stand corrected  well ...sat down anyway 
H7 main/high beam
DS2 dipped beam on xenon headlight or H1 on non xenon headlight

There's a label on top of the light unit that tells you exactly what bulbs it takes.

I have OSRAM Night Breaker as high beam bulbs, put them into try and am quite impressed with them.

I also have a set to put in for the dipped beam, just never got round to it.  Funnily enough I came accross the dips last week during a sort out, I think I found some higher brightness Philips bulbs as well.
