New Bulbs!

[safc88]

Hi All

One of my dipped beam bulbs has gone so it's time for a change!

Could anyone recommend some bulbs please and if possible some online links (not HIDs) also some sidelights if possible!

Its a 55 plate if that helps at all

Have a look at osram night breakers or philips extreme (I think that's what they are), sidelight bulbs I've gone for some philips 5w5 ones which you can pick up for £4 off ebay.

Thanks

Do you know what the fitting is for the dipped beams?

H7 is what I have for dipped/main

Autolamps Cobalt 2 give you the best "xenon look" light on the road.

Osrams will give you a much brighter yellow light and are twice the price of these.

Philips X-treme Vision are about the best you can get for light output. Depending on where you buy from, you can quite often get a set of sidelights thrown in for free.

I had Philips x-tremes, would say they were the best light output. Changed them over to ultra powers. Not the best, but I prefer the look of them. It's a much whiter glow. Got both them off amazon.

Sidelight wise, I have some led bulbs.

You might not fail an MOT but aren't they dangerous for the mechanics? I'm sure it's wayyyy overloading the maximum amount.

MTECS appearence look OEM xenon, but emit sod all on the road.

Osram night breaker or the phillips extreme

The ones I posted are 80w & had no bother in the GTI or the last car.
