Replacement headlight bulbs
« on: December 13, 2013, 08:35:20 pm »
Right I have done some googling but can't get me the right answer for some reason. Maybe I am being stupid.

I want to upgrade the standard GTi headlight bulbs. From what I can see both the dipped and the main beams are H7 bulbs. Is this correct?

If this IS correct, I want to get some Osram Nightbreakers. Would it be alright to put them in both slots?

Osram Nightbreakers are decent halogen bulbs, I tend to get my set from Euro Car Parts which is less than £18 for the Unlimited set (or £13 for the Plus longer life versions whichever you fancy).

Yes both H7.

Osram nightbreakers are good, get the pure white shade :)

I've just bought these on Amazon - Philips 12972-XVS2 H7 X-Treme Vision - for a bargain £18.80. These were the test winners in the Auto express test this year btw
