I've got a headlight that keeps flickering on the mini and I'm replacing the bulbs while I fix it. Any good recommendations? they are xenons also.
Cheers.

They say them Osram or Philips are the best for legal non-HID headlights.

Think they take D1s and in that case I'd go for Phillips xtreme power but they are not cheap and should be done in pairs!

He's after HID bulbs not regular bulbs.
Seany, check powerbulbs.com used them several times inc for a return and they have been great. Think the Phillips bulbs are around £135 each though

You're right, you'll get them for less.

The ones I have have been faultless for the last 3 years, certainly no need to return anything. I think d2s that I use are about £10 a pair too, they'd have to have a fairly horrific failure rate before it was worth paying for branded ones.
