Main beam and full beam are both h7. How many you need depends on if you are changing both. If just the main dipped beam then just one set of h7 bulbs.

I switched to these:

Don't think they're any brighter, and the beam of light doesn't look that white... BUT when you stand outside the car and look at the headlamps, they look much whiter than most cars on the road.

Yes if you want to change both dipped and full beam then 2 sets.

I have osram night breaker plus as my full beam and they are excellent!

I also need to change my headlight bulbs so I was thinking of replacing the dipped beam bulbs for the Philips ones and the full beam bulbs for the osram night breaker, will this be okay? I also need to change the bulbs for the sidelights and fog lights so can someone please reccomend me some, either led or a white light like the headlights, thanks.

Ring Ultima every time... That my personal preference based on testing I have carried out (I can't say any more as it was in relation to my day job, but what I will say is its the best £19 you will spend on bulbs, - H7 per pair via Ebay.. especially when the lamps are aimed properly) you can also get them for the fogs too which again makes a big difference.
