As my previous Coupe had Halogens I did a bit of research so that if a bulb failed I could hopefully fit something a bit better.

Osram Nightbreakers seemed to get good feedback - but I never needed to try them.
Coupes because stunning!

OSRAM Night Breaker Laser +150% H7

You could also get matching sidelights (Genuine Osram Cool Blue Intense 4000K W5W).

I have just done this, light output is great now and they are a lot whiter (still yellow ish of course compared to xenons).
