As with all bulbs, don't touch the glass with your fingers or you will be replacing them in a few months.

Yes they are available in H7. Osram do several versions of Nightbreaker.
Go for the one with the highest +rating (+150 or 200). Bexaware they will have a shorter lifespan than standard bulbs.

Do NOT fit LED or HiD conversion kits - they are illegal and could cause an MOT fail and invalidate your insurance.

Also clean your headlights, one trip in winter can cover them with enough salt and dirt to seriously reduce their effectiveness

@broseley - when you say your lights aren't bright, do you mean that they work well in terms of lighting the road and signs ahead but you would like them to appear 'brighter' or, are they useless are providing any meaningful lighting? The former can be fixed easily as suggested above with upgraded bulbs alone. The latter means totally useless lamp design despite what testing it may have passed and a genuine factory Xenon conversion is the only best way to fix it properly.

My 2013 Astra had standard halogen's and was perfectly fine. My older Volvo's and Supra are 'sublime' with factory halogens.

My 2007 CLS was beyond a f*cking joke for lighting! Genuinely, may as well not have even bothered fitting head lamps and saved an extra couple of quid. Lamps and bulbs in perfect condition. Now way should that thing leave any factory as road worthy. I understand its not the only halogen based Merc to have totally useless lighting. Never seen such an utter load of crapness. That thing was so deadly I changed it to LED bulbs. Absolute PITA, with having to try a couple of LED bulbs to get the lighting pattern decent and then additional resistors! I should have thrown a set of HIDs in. When they go, I will see if the genuine factory Xenon is a plug and play option despite cost. I'd love to get who ever designed these lights, line up my cars, explain the crap lighting on the CLS, then at the end shoot them smack bang between the eyeballs with a shot gun, a few more shots thereafter to make certain they are dead.
