In order to make things better while still staying within the law, you may find a variety of so-called "upgraded" halogen lights online. Have a look around and read reviews where relevant; Halfords would be a good place to start.
Since most manufacturers have abandoned the Xenon alternative, LED lamps have quickly become the standard. However, as is well known, it is technically illegal to simply install LEDs into headlamps designed for halogen, so to avoid a MOT failure, it is best to stick with halogen, preferably the best you can afford.
It is easy to overlook some characteristics that you truly desire when perusing a new car's specifications list, so before you buy another vehicle, jot down a list of everything you absolutely must-have. A heated steering wheel, LEDs, an automatic gearbox, electronic power brakes, a lengthy warranty, respectable gas mileage, etc. are the standard features on mine.
Hopefully, you'll be able to locate dependable upgraded lights.
