Just been to my local Halfords and they are now doing 9005EB/HB3 bulbs in their Extreme Brilliance range. Up to 90% brighter than standard. £24.99 each, but currently BOGOF.
The Haynes Fiesta Manual (3397) can answer a lot of your questions.

However, they do seem more susceptible to blowing - mainly caused by potholes oddly enough...

The first pic is with 100 watt blue tint bulbs from ebay (illegal, I know and not really rated) - standard bulbs are 60 watt.
Best estimate is Super Brilliance is halfway between the two images.

Bought four today and tried them tonight. What a difference!!!
Also bought some one watt LED side lights off ebay so the Puma is now properly lit up!

They may do, but at least they are legal!

Don't stir trouble
Mine passed its MOT with HID's too.
My local Ford dealer said he would pass my car with them fitted as well as normal Puma head lights are bordering on dangerous !!
The HID argument causes too much grief.
Just let it rest.
If they are happy with Halfraud's bulbs let them be
I promised Kate I wouldn't get involved in anymore HID arguments.
