Headlights, modern content.

As stated, there should be no issue with a 3 year old cars headlamps. I do wonder if people are expecting because it’s a new car it should have a pair of carbon arc aircraft searchlights attached to the front. But I digress. HID and LED afterfit are not really a great idea, often being dazzling, and are also an MOT fail. The CANBUS will not really like the idea of cheaper systems and seeing as the headlight will have been computer designed to make the best of an incandescent filament a lot of the time these kind of ‘upgrades’ are a side step. I also would not upgrade the bulbs ‘wattage’ as the wiring on these Peugeot’s is fragile enough. Seen enough with burned out wiring terminals at the BSM with stock headlamp bulbs let alone ones twice as ‘powerful’. Best thing you can do is fit a branded pair of quality bulbs, none of this ‘ultra blue’ tosh as this decreases the light output, and have the vehicles headlight beam checked and set at an mot centre.

if you can, upgrade to OSRAM Nightbreakers, I have always found them to be worthwhile

Make sure to buy from Halfrauds or similar as many of the online ones are fakes

When I got the Cube the headlights seemed to be really yellow and dull, so I bought some GE Megalight Ultra +130, which were on special offer at halfords at the time. After years of buying upgraded bulbs I can honestly say for the first time these give me the extra light was looking for. They are a nice white-ish light, they arnt military-spec-searchlight bright, but plenty good enough. Changing the bulbs was abit of a game, but not as bad as the sidelight bulds which require double jointed spaghetti-fingers to get to the bulb.
My dad had 80/100W bulbs in his Maxi for a while. They absolutly did the job in giving extra light, no doubt about that, but if he was following me I would have to move the rear view mirror so they wouldnt blind me.

Well every single car that comes towards me without fail, that is say 2010 or newer has retina melting headlamps. The stuff in the last five yrs particularly. Even the manufacturers know they are too bright, because they automatically dim the lamp when you indicate because they know you would not see it otherwise.
Don’t know about improving them they all should be reduced they are a friggin menace & down right dangerous

I find the biggest problem is most cars aren't focused properly . My mk2 GTI and Mk5 gti, both cars regarded as having poor lamps, have excellent lighting since I properly adjusted them, not just for height but also for left-to-right. And obvioulsy a set of Osram Nightbreaker unlimiteds in both . Some cars have hidden adjustment screws to adjust the head and dip seperate to one another, that aren't immediately obvious , such as the mk5.

The Missus now has a Polo. She used to have a VW Beetle about thirty years ago. She commented recently that the old beetles rear number plate light did a better job of lighting up the driveway when reversing at night than the Polo’s reverse lights. They are absolutely shyte and apparently nothing you can do about it due to Canbus..That’s progress then......👎🏻

Headlights not too bad though
