Brighter headlights for Bora?

[arixooo]

For the first time since 2 months ago that I bought the car I drove at night and really couldn't see anything, the lights are pretty old and weak.
Was thinking about changing all of them (Headlights and tail lights) with brighter compatible bulbs and since I usually mess up everything if I don't ask first, appreciate if you could share your experience.

If you headlights are foggy you might have to sand and buff them back. Mothers do a headlight restoration kit, I've used it a couple of times with good results.

Or just upgrade to HID headlights, these guys specialize in HID retrofit for VW's.

Get the lenses buffed, and fit Osram Nightbreaker bulbs.

Otherwise, you can be a pest to other drivers and fit a HID kit.

Nah, I hate Xenon light..
About the Osram NightBreaker,
I found these two halogen headlights too:
Philips X-tremeVision
Amazon.com: Philips 9006XVB2 X-tremeVision Upgrade Headlight Bulb, 2 Pack: Automotive

Sylvania SilverStar Ultra
Amazon.com: SYLVANIA 9006 SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb, (Contains 2 Bulbs): Automotive

Still Osram?

I have previously bought from Car Globes, Halogen, Xenon HID, LED | Philips & OSRAM | PowerBulbs
A UK company so prices are good. Check em out.

I've upgraded to projectors but not hid bulbs, muuuuch better! Not annoying for other drivers

Check out Nighteye brand LED conversion bulbs. They're available from Banggood and (I think) eBay.

I needed new bulbs, just bought some osrams will let you know how they go in a week or two

They look promising, have you tried them on your VW?
I couldn't find Volkswagen on their website

I think you'll get in similar trouble with LED bulbs in halogen reflectors as HIDs. There seems to be alot of scatter.

I have Phillips extreme vision.

They are good, but not mind blowing good like Xenon.

If you can upgrade to projectors and then install a Xenon kit, problem solved.

I had a kit installed in my previous Soarer and they were absolutely amazing.

I have the LED conversion bulbs in my 2012 Subaru for the high beams only. They're really good. The beam spread can be hit and miss depending on the shape of the specific housing. But a lot of people in the mk4 Golf Facebook group (mostly UK people) run Nighteyes, and they love them.

Installed the OSRAM's tonight, they're definitely better, but not "WOW what are these bulbs" better. I had one in vs one supercheap globe, so maybe narva or something, it was definitely brighter, and whiter but not buy a huge amount, maybe 25%.

I'll upload some photos tomorrow if they worked, but I only had my phone which has auto brightness adjust, so I imagine they all look the same.

So overall a decent bulb, but not mind blowing, no ones going to think you have LED's or HID's
