Headlights

[Gandy]

I might be looking to upgrade my lamps at some point but a set of projectors and the associated bulbs etc is abit steep. Whats the best bulbs i should be looking at as a direct replacement??

Osram Nightbreakers are good

 

[Gandy]

i'll look into them

I've got the Osram Nigh Breakers as above, meant to be whiter than standard but I can't see much difference, they are Definitely brighter though!

Think I fancy having a try of the Philips Diamond Vision for the HID look.

Out of Stock atm but I'm sure you can find them somewhere.

Whats the bulb code?? is it H7?

 

[Troopy]

Very delayed sorry but yes it's H7 for standard headlights.

Ive put HID's in mine, just make sure you check the levels and beam pattern is correct and theyre fine. I went for 6K for a white/very pale blue look.(had them fitted in my passat)

They will be better than any uprated bulb, but as said i used to have Osram Nightbreakers in as my high beam, and they were v.good.

HTH

Main Beam are H7 and high are H1 irrc?

Go for HID! Fitted some the other day, easy to fit and cost about £60!

Dont get a HID kit with the standard reflector headlights, the beam pattern will be very poor.
