Have a look at the powerbulbs website - either osram nightbreakers or philips is fine. I've always gone with the latter.

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

Can you get them osram night breakers for full, dipped and sidelights? So the colours are a match

full and dipped are the same bulb, so just buy 2 sets of whatever you're after. not sure about sidelights

Got MTEC super whites in mine. Had Ring extremes previously, only lasted 11months, and not as white.

Same bulb for main and dipped which is handy. I got some white (not blueish) LED sidelight bulbs from ebay which match nicely and are bright enough to be almost DLRLs!

Auto lamps cobalt 2, give a white /bluish beam, and give great range. Closest bulb I've found to xenons  :happy2:

Even auto express magazine rated them very highly  :notworthy:
