Halfords own 50% more light, headlight bulbs are better than Philips Vision and Osram Silverstars. Also for a limited time they are buy 1 get 1 free. Approx £14.99. Well worth the money.
Or goto Fiatboo and search for powerbulbs code, as i have given them 10% off at www.powerbulbs.co.uk which is still good value before discount.

Seriously, there was an auto test on them but can't find the link. It was recent.
Heres an old review i have but for H4 bulbs, but the principles the same.

I suggest you buy the right ones next time, as there are many to choose. Plus i have them in my main beam and they are super bright and shine exactly where you want them too.
well i bought Halfords Super Brilliance plus 50%...the ones in your link and they were crap..i presume they are "the right ones" as you put it, and i bought halfords laser blue bulbs today and they were even worse

They tested 7 bulbs and only got 4 results.
Why didn't they align the bulbs like any sensible driver would after changing?

Well either you haven't had your headlights aligned properly, or you never cleaned your headlights, but there are many positive feedbacks about these bulbs except from you. You must do something wrong, or bought duff bulbs.
Here is the latest bravo owner who fitted halfords bulbs with pics. Really bright and are excellent value on the BOGOF offer. If they are not on offer i wouldn't of got them as they are well overpriced.

Also you got this guy from the fiat coupe forum who saw the same review as i did.

Carry on reading the fiat forum they praise they bulbs. The are much better than standard.
P.s Laser Blue are not that bright and are pap.

i would be interested to see a comparison looking out of the car.... to see if they are any brighter.
i asked myself the same question. for the sake of a test they could at least assume if someone is capable of fitting bulbs they will also be capable of aligning their headlights.
I've had both the Halfords in my punto mk1 and the philips vision plus in my Bravo and the Philips seem to give a bigger difference over standard bulbs, wither this is due to the standard bravo reflector being better than the punto i dont know. But can reccommend the Halfords ones, but the Vision Plus are better in my opinion, and as you can get them all yr round for £12.50 delivered for a set, cheaper too!
