Clio III projector headlights - poor light output?

[tomp2000]

Got a Clio III DCI for the OH as her daily and it has the projector/cornering lights fitted as standard. However compared to normal headlights the light output is crap. The bulbs are fitted correctly and adjusted properly so I guess my only option is to try new bulbs.

I've tried the "150% brighter" bulbs off ebay when I had the 330cd and they were worse than standard. Is my only option a HID kit (thinking 5000k) or does anyone have another suggestion?

Cheers

Hid for sure, just fitted some upgraded bulbs in my dads porsche, cost him like £40 and they don't seem much different.

HIDs are generally a lot better than the standard bulbs fitted

any HID's better than others in terms of quality? Seem to range in price from around £30-£100.

I had a £30 set of hid's in my Audi for over 2 years and they were fine.

Try some osram night breakers.. <£20 online.

I just don't trust stuff like that on eBay.. Never really know what you're buying or what they think they're benchmarking against !

Had the night breakers in all of my cars since my first Clio which came with some candles installed.
