Xenons and osram bulbs need help!

[Kyran clio gt 128]

Just wondering people with xenon headlights do you need to upgrade the FULL not main beam with osram bulbs ?

Full beam and main beam is the same thing mate.

Normal driving around when it gets dark lights, are called dipped beam
Flashing at mates/doggers/random people, are called high/main/c**t beam

Sorry high beam* would I need some new osram bulbs for them?

How often do you use you full/main/high beams? I know I wouldn't notice a difference because I rarely use them.

I use my main beam regularly as my xenons are gash. Haven't looked to see what bulbs are in there but they look like the cheap yellow type and they do the job fine. The aim is so high that I don't think it makes much of a difference.

I do a lot of shift work so drive on unlit rural roads a lot and have found the standard high beam to be just fine. My xenons on this 182 were poor until I used a 3M headlight restoration kit in them. The cloudiness really affects the light output.

High beams are absolutely essential on country roads at night, the best ones possible are recommended!

I have used the MTEC bulbs that you get on HID's Direct in a number of my cars and have found them pretty good.
