From my experiance the blue bulbs reduce the light.
Get some 130 Watt bulbs in there

Hi I got extra bright bulbs from Halrauds(gold top on pack)and thought they were VG,changed them for xenon blue but I think I will change them back as not to happy with light.I think the way to go is HID as I was driving a coach with HID and thought the lighting was tops.

HID sounds good but i was reading you have to spend top money to get results?
as far as the colour effecting the brightness.......yeah it has to effect it. i noticed a blue layer on the bulb chipping off.
so away with the blue and in with the standard for now just to see if there is a dif.
will check the reflectiveness on the inside, sounds difficult to actually check but has to be done.
may look at some other bulbs? i just thought it may have been some sort of power loss?
oh well will get out in the cold tomorrow and have a look.
