Thinking of changing some bulbs
« on: January 03, 2011, 08:54:25 pm »
Hi all
I want to change the following bulbs

Headlights
side lights
interior lights

What I want is a crisp white light better than the standard ones.

Can any of you give me some advice on what others have used without dashboard errors.
I have already changed the reg plate lights and I am pleased with those.

Cheers

I used these on my side lights

No troubles with dash lights staying on with errors or bulb out warnings. Also give a pure white light.  :happy2:

For headlights and side lights, have a look at powerbulbs.com.

H7 is what you want for main and dipped.

I think sidelights are W5W.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
