Need to replace dipped beam bulb
Any recommendations that will give better light

Also need to replace the wipers as on that are on are noisy.
Again what do you guys recommend

TIA

Bosch wiper blades, should be the flat aero type on that.

Bulbs tbh I've got some real cheapo Lucas ones in my car and they are fine.

I tried the osram 70% brighter ones they were good, but they only lasted around a year, and tbh when I put the cheap bulbs in I didn't notice the difference enough to warrant the increased expenditure.

On the caddy I think the lenses went yellow, try giving them a polish up with the headlight repair kits you can get these days

Brighter bulbs don't last so long so I don't go for the brightest available. Went for silver osram as good enough. Been in 3 years so far.
Wipers splash out on silicone ones

Put some Osram Nightbreakers in the Freelander just over a year ago and they were noticeably brighter. They have a reputation for not lasting long, but they're OK after a year (albeit only about 5000 miles due to Covid).

Never had much luck with wiper blades. Expensive Bosh ones are no better than Halfords' own. The cheapest from a motor factor last less well though.
