Full Beam and Dipped Main Beam are seperate H7 Bulbs, to be honest its not really worth chaning the full Beam, but the dipped makes a big diference.

I would upgrade your sidelights (5W) to Osram's or Philipps too as your standard ones will look very yellow against the Night Breakers, there was a post on the same subject earlier in the week too,

Are you sure main is not an H1 bulb?

JPC:
rich, if your properly serious, i could fit the xenons and levellers

rskardon:
They are both H7 in my car, dont know if they changed it at some point

bowie:
Don't want to stir it up more here , but I can remember reading that Xenons have washers because the light they produce deteriates more than halogen light when they get dirty.  I think that , strictly,  they are not legal without the means to clean them and keep the required lighting. With the MoT , its probably the case that its just not enforced properly. Is it a case of the tester thinking "if its not on the car, it doesn't need testing" ?

Chris.
