(Push stalk forward: bright Xenon light+Halogen; Pull stalk back: Bright Halogen light) = Bi-Xenon.

Fixed!

With rgTom's description in mind as his is what mine does too.

The sidelights are not that hard to change either, I managed it fine

Yeah the sidelights are fine but the inside 'main beam' lights are a pain on the passenger side!

I changed mine with PIAA ones ages back too, it was a bit tight but I managed it in the end

Just having a look around and I can find the xtreme white sidelights, but cannot find xtreme white H7 bulbs, do they not make these? I can find xtreme white plus H7s but they have a slightly different tempterature rating.

don' think tehy do xtreme white halogens, mine are not as white as the sidelights.

Did you not see the pictures above? They look stupid with the standard yellow halogens.

yup, it does look pretty daft but imo it looks like someone trying despirately hard to "have bluu lites" when they are all blatently non-oem like that

Why does it? If they match the xenons then surely it doesn't look stupid.
