Never had to change a bulb on a P2 and my dipped bulb has went on the D5, what's the best brand folks are using?
I used to us nightbreakers on the V40

Pretty sure i have these [clickhere] on mine.
They are pretty white for a standard bulb and have pretty good distance on them but don't seem to show up much right in front of the car though.

I had nightbreakers in my p2 and they blew after a year
I replaced them with bog standard Tesco items and they lasted well and gave a good light to be honest
It's a 5 Cylinder Orchestra!
R.I.P. Kyebosh (Alan) you're memory lives on!
I just ordered the new night breakers, I knew they didn't last as long as a std bulb, it states that on the pack but they are better imo.
Thanks

Its all a con mate!
All these bulbs that claim they are brighter are brighter because they make the filament smaller so it burns hotter and therefore, brighter! That's why they don't last as long. Also, the coloured filters they use on the bulb glass are just to give the effect of a whiter light. Infact they are filtering the light therefore less light output on the road. Go figure
All I would say is, keep your receipt cos you still get 1 years warranty and if it blows....replace it for free! I did that once on my old 440T years ago....took a bulb back after 9 months and got a new one foc.
OR just fit HIDS mate.
IMO, uprated bulbs are a con and a rip off! For less than the money you pay for them you could get a HID kit.

Can get a hid kit for 20 quid
£15 quid from a UK supplier. You might need to get load resistors (about 4 quid) to stop it throwing a warning.

The bulbs i got were less than £8 and they are plenty bright enough for me, i have no need for HID's.
