    Brighter headlights for Bora?

    For the first time since 2 months ago that I bought the car I drove at night and really couldn't see anything, the lights are pretty old and weak.
    Was thinking about changing all of them (Headlights and tail lights) with brighter compatible bulbs and since I usually mess up everything if I don't ask first, appreciate if you could share your experience.

    If you headlights are foggy you might have to sand and buff them back. Mothers do a headlight restoration kit, I've used it a couple of times with good results.

    Or just upgrade to HID headlights, these guys specialize in HID retrofit for VW's.

    Get the lenses buffed, and fit Osram Nightbreaker bulbs.

    Otherwise, you can be a pest to other drivers and fit a HID kit.

    Nah, I hate Xenon light..
    About the Osram NightBreaker,
    I found these two halogen headlights too:
    Philips X-tremeVision
    Amazon.com: Philips 9006XVB2 X-tremeVision Upgrade Headlight Bulb, 2 Pack: Automotive

    Sylvania SilverStar Ultra
    Amazon.com: SYLVANIA 9006 SilverStar Ultra High Performance Halogen Headlight Bulb, (Contains 2 Bulbs): Automotive

    Still Osram?

    Check out Nighteye brand LED conversion bulbs. They're available from Banggood and (I think) eBay.

    They look promising, have you tried them on your VW?
    I couldn't find Volkswagen on their website
