I have a 2008 530 D E61 and find the headlights very poor. Does anyone have any tips to improve them as I have started to avoid driving in the dark. thanks Paneuro.

    What is the issue with them? are the bulbs dim, are the lens faded? Have you thought about going to LED bulbs?

    It would depend on the brand and place were you purchase them. Typically its best to buy a decent set. I paid for a set as a gift for my son in law some time back for his E90 and it cost me 100 euros. You can sometimes need clips that the new bulb sits into also. These are an additional cost of about 10 quid. I cant recommend any brands yet but I am looking for a decent set for myself so if I can recommend any in time i'll let you know, likewise if you find any post it up here.
