New Xenon bulbs
Hi Peeps,
This has probably been done to death but what replacement Xenon bulbs are best for a 2011 D4?
Boris (My Discovery) headlight seems to have gradually got dimmer and dimmer and after having my eyes checked it seems to be the bulbs that are not as bright as they should be.
Seems potentially to be a common issue, Ive had the car 5.5 years and they certainly havent been changed in that time and as they are potentially pretty expensive (for a bulb anyway) I'd rather make sure that I get the right ones!!
Thanks in advance

Have a look at www.powerbulbs.com, find the right one for the car and then search to see if you can find them cheaper... Osram Nightbreakers are very good and I've used them in a couple of Disco's previously.. not cheap though
Edit .com... not .co.ukI want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Thanks SO much,
Ive had a look on the website and they seem much cheaper than Halfords!!
Possiby a stupid question but it gives me the option of "Bi-Focus", "Bi-Xenon" or Halogen - how can I tell what the car has on it already (Im pretty certain when I brought it it had Xenons on but that was 5.5 years ago!!

Thanks - that was my assumption but after 13 years of owning Discoveries I have learnt that the most sensible answer isnt always the right one!!
