Yep, 4th gen lights are renowned for being shocking! I fitted Osram Nightbreakers as well, but a few others have retrofitted projector units/halogens etc.

I just always tried to avoid driving at night, especially if it was raining :lol:

yeah the osrams are a good upgrade for sure i am slowly upgrading the other bulbs as i go going over to leds in side lights and number plate lights , got a nice bright 6 led one in the interior light , i believe there is some sort of red light in the door cards on some preludes might retro fit some of them also

Fit white lights in the doorcards instead of red. They work better as a puddle light and still warn driversby that your door is open ;)

I think my Headlights need a light sandpaper to them or something
