Try fitting some decent bulbs - Philips or Osram only.

Manufacturers usually fir Longlife bulbs, denoted by 'LL' on the flange.  These sacrifice brightness for extened life, so saving on warranty claims.  Forget about higher-wattage bulbs, as these seldom control the beam properly, and generate lots of glare for oncoming drivers.  They also impose additional loads on the switchgear and cables.

I once tried Halfords 100/130 bulbs in my Golf GTi, but found that a 70 watt Philips Blue Vision type gave better lighting. 
A Z3 is not just for Christmas - it's for life!
