DanGersFord Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Told you :) they're great brightness wise. Ive got a set of Philips Diamond Vision 5000k in mine which arent as bright but give a more icy-white colour so they match my angel eyes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosted666 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I just replaced mine with these, main and dipped and they are far better than stock and are recommended by many. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H7-Ring-XENON-Ultima-120-Headlamp-Bulb-55W-pair.html http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/H1-Ring-XENON-Ultima-120-Headlamp-Bulb-55W-pair.html and for the interior I used http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/501-led-extreme-power-1.5w-360-degree-white-blue-red-amber.html Plenty bright enough in my opinion footwell and reading light.

Early-1800 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 bulbs! Just going out in to the cold to replace the 3rd or 4th bulb in about 18months. All genuine OSRAM or Philips H7s, careully fitted. Is this common? Atleast I can do it in double quick time now with all the practice I've had.....

DanGersFord Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Not usual no it depends what bulbs your using some of them have high output but crap life spans. Particularly the bulbs with a thick blue coating because they require a decent output to shine through the coating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early-1800 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 They are +90 or 100% but not maxy-p blue. This recent one may have been due to a vicious country road pothole, that bad I thought it must have bent the alloy but looks like only the bulb took the hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Make sure aswel when your changing the bulbs that you dont touch the bulbs with your hand. use gloves or a cloth when fitting as this can greatly reduce the life of your bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
