So I bought some cheap H1 par of eBay and they suck. Does anybody has LED headlights bulbs in their Punto? If you do what bulbs did you use?
Jup I did a huge mistake by buying cheap LED bulbs, well **** it, I am going to get pair of Philips X-treme Vision (halogen) ones and hopefully they are as good as osram onesNot legal in the UK so hardly anyone will advise you on this.
Make sure its ok where you are to have them.
I know some major brands like Philips have started making replacement LED headlight bulbs which conform to the same standards as proper headlight bulbs, are direct replacements which keep the exact same beam patterns etc. These are expensive though, over £120.
There are a million cheap Chinese versions but there is no guaranty that they would work properly, last or give you the correct beam pattern.
I polished them and they are clear, need to apply clearcoat when it gets warmerGiven the age of the car I'd check the lenses aront cloudy or the reflectors inside the lenses haven't started to corrode
Is that your blog? I expected it to be just a bot spamming some explicit website but the whole blog is pretty usefulThis might give some hint on the root of the problem:

Do you have a link to any approved LED replacements for filament headlight bulbs?
I know you can get complete replacement lights that are E marked e.g. sealed beam replacements, but as there is no ECE regulation 37 standard for a LED "bulb" you can't get an E marked one. If this has changed I'd be interested to know.

LED replacements can't "..conform to the same standards as proper headlight bulbs,..." becuase they are LEDs and the standards require filaments. It's also physically impossible to produce a LED that conform to the Hx (halogen) ECE standards because of the filament size.
Do you have any evidence that major manufacturers like Ring, Phillips and Osram are producing bulbs that don't conform?
which is missing the point of why many people want LED lights - colour temperature. LEDs can produce a "whiter" or blueish light.

You really need to quit trying to troll all the time, I knew when I posted my original comment that you would show up trying to make a show of your super-duper ability to read a regulation, however go back and read my original reply and you'll see that at no point did I make any claims about bulbs conforming to ECE37, nor about LED's being legal for road use.

Andy, read what you say above. Classic description of a troll posting. I did not troll
I'm not going to comment on your lack of technical understanding,
