very good so if any body got any idea.the lamps are o.k.and yes the
glass was clean.

Had a similar problem with the 405 my wife had some years ago. Went to
Halfords in Staines and had a choice of high performance bulbs or those
weird blue ones. Got the high performance ones and the difference was
quite impressive.

 

Are they adjusted correctly. On my old 306 they were way too low to start
with.

 

If you actually want extra light on the road, then you need to move to HID
lighting.

Does your 405 have the driving lights in the headlight? Mine did, and main
beam was excellent. Might be able to find a pair in a scrappy.
Otherwise I think your best bet is the Philips, or similar 50% brighter
bulbs, you will find them in Halfords etc. Don't even think of those blue
ones, they are useless.
HID is better, but will double the value of the car too, they cost an arm
and a leg.

 

If you're going for a bulb upgrade I can recommend the Ring Ultra Xenon
or Philips Vision Plus bulbs (I have tried both and I would go for the
Ring ones, but the Philips get a better review from autoexpress)

 

Just found the old box in the garage. They are marked "Brilliant High
Performance" and "Xenon Gas Technology".

 

Well thanks every body for replying,I think i might have to take a trip
to Halfords at Staines,

try autobulbs.co.uk or look on ebay many sellers selling the whole set
including sidelights for very cheap full set of xenon bulbs cost me 14.99
