Xenon Recommendations
« on: November 06, 2014, 07:20:48 pm »
Hi all. Now that the longer dark days are here I'm wondering if there's a xenon bulb upgrade available for the standard xenon bulb?

Any recommendations and links please.



So much for keeping it standard!

I've seen a few people recommend these, I'll be picking up a set myself soon, this is the best price I can find  :happy2:

I think you must be talking about xenon style bulbs, these are actual xenon upgrade bulbs  :happy2:

I was running Osram Nightbreaker UNLIMITED XENARC in mine for the last couple of months owning the car. I installed them after reading the extensive review on the R32 (i think) forum.

I've got a pair for sale too if you are interested.


Hope this helps.
