Uprating bulbs quick question

[Veee-dubber]

As title mentions I'm about to uprate my bulbs all round, Going for the Osram night breakers I've got my H7's for dipped and just double checking the mains are H1's?

I've gotta 2005 2.0 GT sport btw :)

Thanks :)

No - both main beam and dipped are H7.

I've just replaced mine with Nightbreakers - they're very good.

Good job I asked then! Best get another set then!

On that note I can get OSRAM night breakers for a tenner if anyone ever needs any ;)

Got the Phillips xtreme from Powerbulbs. If you use Powerbulbs.com, heres a discount code for you......

ZXRCX111 gets you an extra 10% as long as your spending over £15 IIRC. Plus they also chuck in free side light bulbs.

I've got a set of 6000k HIDs in my Octavia vRS, but would like to go back to halogen bulbs which will give the same oem xenon look,
Anybody recommend the best bulbs to suit?

I bought full price bulbs recently too.

MC does these things on purpose - he's a really nasty piece of work...

MTEC Super white will give a "xenon" look (colour temp 4350k). I doubt if they will give you the best beam however, but not sure if you care about that.

^^^^ lots of peeps going for the MTEC's, might get a set to compare with my Phillips xtreme bulbs and see (no pun intended) what the fuss is about! Just had a look on eBay, £12 a pair.....

Ive just put the MTEC 55w Cosmos Blue in my R26 after reading 'rave reports' on them.  I am seriously disapointed in the beam power.   Have to think of something else........

Ivejust put a set of MTEC bulbs in my car.  Drove home on country roads last night, I'd say they were good, perfectly good visibility, I wouldn't necessarily say they seem that much brighter than the original halogens, the light is much whiter though and they look great.  If you are purely after maximum brightness I'm sure there are better options.

Put it this way, driving on the motorway yesterday and today, I could hardly tell I had my lights on ! (they were, I checked before and after).  Cars driving past me (non xenons) were casting light onto the road giving normal road visibility.   My Mtec's are coming out for Nightbreakers.
