upgrade headlights on Citigo

[harrylime]

I'm sure this has probably been asked before but I want up to date advice. I want to upgrade the headlight bulbs on my wife's 2017 Citigo, probably to halogen bulbs? The last time I drove it in the dark, I was shocked at how bad they are. Can anyone please advise what specification I need, I understand from YouTube videos that they are three pin connections? Any recommendations gratefully received.

They are already halogen bulbs. You need an upgrade bulb, higher output than standard. My favourite are Osram Night Breaker which give a big improvement in light output. I have them in my Citigo.

Another vote for Osram Night Breakers here. Much better than the standard bulbs.

Thank you, anyone tried Philips 12V H4 White Vision Ultra +60% ?

I've had Phillips upgrade bulbs in my motorcycle and they are good, definitely better than standard. The reason I prefer Osram is they give a better dip beam pattern using H4 bulbs (which Citigo uses) and are more reliable in my experience.

Facelift Citigo's like my 2018 use 4 x H7 bulbs.

Was not aware of that update.

My Citigo has the best headlights out of the 4 cars I have.

But all of them have Osram Nightbreakers in them.

Only some versions of F/L Citigo's have twin lamp units. Possible SE-L only? I don't know, but it's a standard F/L thing across the board..
