I'm looking to update the look of my 99 XJ8 and headlights seems to be a good start.
Has anyone replaced the headlights with something brighter?
Is it money well spent and did it give the light a blue-ish color or a brighter white?

Steve,

Silverstar bulbs are definitely whiter than the original H7 halogen bulbs. There are also myriad HID retrofits available (which I despise, but that's just me - too @#($(* bright for people who are coming toward them).

There are also a wide range of "tinged white" headlamps. See this link:

and scan through the range of available options. The Nokya lamps come in at least 4 different tints/color temperatures.

I hasten to add I have not used these headlamps nor am I recommending the website whose link I posted above. It just gives you a good snapshot of some of your options.
