I can’t help with recommendations.but be careful if you change headlamp bulbs to LED or HID conversion.
Apparently,from the 11th of January it’s now an MOT fail if you’ve fitted those bulbs to a lamp that should have halogen bulbs.

Mine passed :lol:

If the beam pattern is good, they shouldn't care if it's LED.
This MOT rule was probably drafted when everyone was running around with terrible HID upgrades.

If mine had failed, I would just have swapped the bulbs for the pass, then swapped them back.
