Best place & brand of bulbs for Clio.

[N0ddie]

Not directly related to the 200 but more for the Clio 4. Looking to replace the yellowish bulbs (Dipped beam and sidelights) for whiter ones.

My question is, where is th best place to buy from and which brands are the most reliable?

I'm looking for 2 x H7s for the dipped beams and 2 x W5W for the sidelights.

I'm thinking LEDs for the sidelights as these usually look cleaner/brighter without being too "juicy".

Any help folks?

Try http://www.ultraleds.co.uk mate. I've used them for all my lighting needs, prices are great and quality is second to none.

Ive got Osram Nightbreaker+ in mine (£11 from Amazon), and i cant fault them. Had HID's in before but begrudge paying £140 for a new bulb when one packed in, and IMO these are not a whole lot worse!

For the side lights I swear by MTEC Evo

Pure white and look great

These are great by all accounts. I got some too.
They are actually whiteish blue too, unlike most of the 'Xenon' type bulbs. Then some of these for your sides:

...again. they look great and seem more reliable than all the other 501s ive ever had.

Did you put these exact ones in your reflectors? (as seen in your banner )

If so I may have to get them!!

Yes, that's right. Paid £30 to have em fitted though. Bumper off.

Mate, would you be able to get a picture of them at night? I'd be forever grateful haha!

Madness, I can change all the bulbs with my bumper still on and my hands are like shovels. Removing the bumper yourself isn't hard either.

I don't think I have a pic of the main lights, but these are just the sidelights. Google image search the MTEC cosmos bulbs.

I like, think i'm going to have to purchase!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I've just ordered the same setup Martin!

Hoping they look just as good as yours!
