Just bought the above car and want to replace the headlight bulbs which are quite dim.
What is the brightest / best bulb I can fit without having to replace / upgrade the wiring.
Advice would be most welcome
Thanks

Great purchase!
Honestly, I've just upgraded mine and I would look for two things.
The uprated wiring loom and night breaker bulbs (others are available so you decide👍)
The loom puts 12v to bulbs instead of the 9v atm,
Also by the D/S headlight you'll find a yellow connector.. if it has a resisiter shaped like a packet of polos.. unclip it. You don't have to clip anything in ace but that also helps
I'll link my recent setup below
Uprated loom (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vw-golf-mk1-mk2-mk3-uprated-headlight-loom-harness-corrado-gti-Scirocco-Vento-/292804895796?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292)
Osram Night Breaker bulbs (https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FXKF1NT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_0CI-FbGQZX6HX?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)
Honestly the best update I've done so far.. makes the car usable in dark Belfast nights
The above is a great recommendation, though I wouldn't buy that particular loom.

This is the same one, but only for £12.
Only thing is it's from China, so you'll have to wait a while for delivery.
