'Have tried everything at some point or another..
I wouldn't bother with any of that to be honest.
Use these and you won't regret it.
Hope that helps.

think i got 21s on mine not 100% sure tho def 21 or 22 , with the bulbs dont think its worth risking it with the 100w ones the white plasma ones are made in japan so are good quality bout £12 ebay so still cheap isnt worth gettin real cheap ones like £5 or 6 as they probably wont last and be any good

I think your model has the two odd size wipers; try here to check. I got mine from them and they arrived the next day, excellent service. I also bought their own make flat aero blades and I think they're excellent, only cost about £12-13 for the pair.
They've also started selling bulbs through their partner site, although never used them. Incidently, I agree about just going for the Phillips bulbs, more than bright enough without risking being pulled over!
N.B.
I have no affiliation to these websites whatsoever, just reporting that I've found them excellent in the past.
EDIT: Waht a s**t load of typos I posted!

Aren't they deemed "naughty" by the rozzas unless you have self levelling lights though? Or is that a different system I'm confusing it with?
