Well I emailed the Bulb King Matt, such a quick response, and posting the next day! So easy....

Also, whats the best upgrade for the standard headlight bulbs.  Is it the H7s as mentioned on page 1, or are they only for the xeon headlights? 

Cheers all...

Headlight options... H7 bulbs for both main beam and High beam. I recommend Phillips extreme 100%. There is a review on here somewhere. I find them very bright and 'snow' white compared to the yellow standard bosh bulbs ;)

I just fitted Halfords extreme bulbs, meant to be 120% brighter to my wifes mk4, they are crisp white and seem very good, well happy with them.
also they are on bogof just now, £29.99 for headlight and £19.99 for main beam,
pig to fit in mk4 though, 2 hours it took me  :surprised:

@OLIRAT

I can definitely vouch for the Phillips Xtreme bulbs, they're very good. Not sure if they are any better than the bulbs listed by Monte as I've not tried those in my car although I do have them and will be running a comparison between a few sets come the new year (when it warms out outside) and doing a wee write up.

If you get the Phillips or Osrams then you can get them online from Powerbulps.com and use discount code ZXRCX111 for 10% off and a free set of sidelight bulbs as well. Code runs until the end of the year.

Keep your head down and stay safe out there fella!  :happy2:

Many thanks for your support all of you.

All is going good out here at the moment thanks.  Slight lack VWs knocking about the place! lol.. The good old lady at home is sending my Golf+ mags out, thats the main thing.  And hoping she aint driving the Golf tooo much!!  She has her own lupo.  (sadly not the gti, which i wanted for her!)

Cheers on the advice MC71.  Best get another order sorted then!  Will try them out.  Look forward to reading your review.

Cheerss... oli.. :happy2:
