ok guys to add to the on going questions about lights which are the best and will last the longest ? ie more than two weeks ?

1. Osram cool blue intense
2. Phillips blue vision
3. Osram night breaker plus
4. Or any recommend bulbs

And haz93 if you see this Howz the xenon conversion going

Oh and sorry for another repetitive topic from me about lights again

[Brigante]

To kick this off, my cool blue's ain't let me down and as I just said on another thread, even the Missus says how much cleaner n brighter they are over the original bulbs.

[Rh1no]

Same questions for me

[k13r4n]

Ok Charlie cool am tempted to get a set tbh but just thought I would post this to find general opinions

[k13r4n]

Just found osram cool blue hyper anybody have these or know much about them

[Brigante]

This come up in a previous discussion mate.

The hypers aren't E marked and aren't road legal. Off road use only I'm afraid.





Ain't that right Clive

[k13r4n]

Yeah just checked and is the high beam a requirement in the mot or not

[Stoney871]

Yep, anything 5000k and over are show/off road only.

[k13r4n]

Ok so generally you guys would recommend the intense bulbs then

[Haz93]

I have had 6000k Xenon bulbs in ( cheap Chinese ones) and found these were slightly more purple/blue than the led DRL's

Now they have blown and one melted to the projector ( never buying cheapo again)

Going for the proper Osram 4500k bulbs, same colour as used in the Audi S line xenons which match the LED DRL's perfectly, shame there £60 per bulb!!!

Ok guys my bulbs are goosed and so is the light put the original ford bulbs in and still no joy so it's booked into ford on Thursday

[Brigante]

!Removed! hell mate what you reckon could have caused that?

[Haz93]

I think the fuse for the headlights is on the passenger footwell fuse board. Anyone know which one?? I will have a look in the Haynes manual later as this will be a cheaper fix than ford doing it if the fuse has gone. Would be worth a try first. Do all the other lights work ( side lights, etc..)

[k13r4n]

As far as I'm aware all bulbs work except the drivers dipped beam h7 bulb

[Haz93]

Okay so if only the one bulb isn't working then it's not the fuse. Sounds like a wiring fault. You could check the connector to see if all the pins and sockets are in contact. Other than that I can't think of much to help ( not an electrical genius )

If you can't fix it sounds like ford garage is best option mate
