Mandy's Rising Blue Golf R...

[Mandy]

Had the Osram Nightbreakers H7's and Osram Cool Blue 501's fitted for a short while, vision was greatly improved over standard bulbs but the look of them wasn't 'white' enough for my liking. So, got some Mtec Super White H7 bulbs and swapped them over today, the colour of them are a much 'cooler' white, no yellow at all- very happy with them! Will look into changing the 501 bulbs to Mtec too.

I was thinking the same thing. 

[Mandy]

Thanks guys! 

Yes I do want the letters to be black but don't know the best way to do this? Thought about using nail varnish or something. 

[Nodz]

Looking good, agree the letters in black would make it look even better.

An idea for doing it, get a black touch kit in the same colour you ha the engine sprayed, be just the same as the nail vanish idea but with proper paint lol

[Greeners]

Agreed on the touch up stick, just make sure you laquer them afterwards!

How do you rate the Mtecs over the nightbreakers for vision? Where do you get them from? They look great

Will try and get hold of a touch up stick and give it a bash.

I got the Mtecs from ebay, were only £10 but I think they have gone up slightly now. Bearing in mind the Osrams were loads better than original bulbs, when I put the Mtecs in, they didn't seem quite as bright as the Osrams. They are very good bulbs, just look slightly dimmer than Osrams because the colour of them are cooler.

Looking good, the dealer would get a shock lifting that bonnet

Car passed it's MOT yesterday with the Mtec H7 bulbs so I'm happy with that and will fit the 501's very soon. Got VW to price match the MOT with Halfrauds so at £24.68 I was even happier.

Got myself a black touch up stick and had a go at painting the letters on the engine cover, looks ok from a distance, not so perfect when up close.
