I use philips extreme, my dad uses osram nightbreakers(mondeo).
The extreme are almost identical to hid in colour on dip, but more normal bulb colour on mb.
The nightbreakers are a better colour than the mb of the extreme, but not as good on dip colour and illumination wise.
I have my lights through relays, 2 in each headlight(keeps them dry) and I run permanent dip, even on mb the dip stays on, so the sw is just a on/off sw for the mb selection, just run wire from output from headlight stalk direct to dip beam wire for this, a free mod that makes a huge difference and is 100% legal and mot passable.
