Lenny Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I know. I don't think I seen many of these lists in car manuals before. It could just be that I've never had to look before. I have another question Osram Nightbreaker Plus or Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited Plus are these the same or different I can't tell I'm currently looking on ebay. Have you got all the lights you listed fitted? If yes do you have a link to a picture? Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited Plus would be the latest model, Heres a picture of everything except high beam: Cree reverseve and fog: Silvatec bulb in socket, Standard bulb removed, Before silvatec: After Silvatec: I hope these images provide more of an insight than i had prior to purchasing any of them myself :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassen Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 +1 for the Osrams. Have been using them for more than 1 year and they are a significant improvement over stock. Funnily enough, my local Ford dealer has them stocked now and it works to be cheaper from them since they offer me a discount as I am a loyal customer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, my local Ford dealer has them stocked now and it works to be cheaper from them since they offer me a discount as I am a loyal customer. That has to be the best ford dealership in europe stocking Avon Tyres and Osram Nightbreaker or Cool blue intence bulbs on the shelves, Then giving discount on those premium "aftermarket upgrade" items, Most 99% of garages dont even use ford oil or filters they buy in cheapest stuff they can and bill you for genuine ford, Ive saw it with my own eyes and 99% of irish ford dealerships use Brabus tyres eventhough they roll out of factory on Mitchelin Primacey III If there pimping out the car as part of the service then charging less than standard priceses at your dealership Seriously id travel the country to have mine done there too as ive had to order these "brand name" items personally from the uk this would save me a fortune on shipping aswell as time awaiting special orders.

Give me more of an insight as you say. I am now looking for the best place to buy these bulbs from. Looking at the prices of the bulb I can see it being slightly expensive for what it is. But I can't wait to get rid of the standard yellowish headlight bulbs.

I have not had any dealings with my Ford Dealership as yet as I've only had this car for just over 3 months. But I'd be happy if they where stocking the same as Hassen's dealership. I used to take my old car to Kwik Fit but I do think I'll be taking this car elsewhere when its due an M.O.T & service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Beware of imitation cree bulbs, Original Cree are from America not china, In the uk AllTronix.co.uk is a reliable supplier of genuine Cree, Here is the latest model of cree reverse bulb: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301487658232 See alltronix for the red cree fog bulb. Regarding Osram Nightbreaker Plus There the best bulb on the road i recommend those for your high beam. For low beam i strongly recommend Osram Cool blue intense which shine a lite of 5400kelvin this is as close to 6000kelvin you can get without fitting a HID Kit, LED in your low or high beam is illegal because led light cant be focused it shines everywhere. However led is legal for positioning and indication. I'm not a betting man but if ford sell Osram night breaker plus or Osram cool blue intense bulbs show me the receipt for them from ford and ill send you 10 GBP They may bill people for Osram but im convinced they purchase bulbs in packs of 20 for 15GBP can be got like this on eBay, there not osram, and they wont last as long but ford like to keep there customers coming back for more. Shop around for cheapest seller on eBay. Silvatec bulbs are cheap enough now on eBay, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenlee91 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 P21W Is a BA15s fitment mate the one ive linked there replaces a P21W BA15s bulb But is my car classed as a 4-Door or a 5-Door as these are different fitments. I always thought mine was a 5-Door car that being 4 doors and the boot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it would have to be a W16W fitment? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassen Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Lenny, I only saw the Osrams yesterday while my wife's Seat Leon was getting service. Always have had a good experience with Colton Motors Mullingar and Tullamore. Like you said, they also gave me a discount on my Avon Tyres previously. I so wish they would take customer parts to fit on the car as I would get my B12 prokit done by them. They mentioned it could take up to 4hr labour and would consider fitting it for me. As for genuine parts, they always use them as I can see their store room from the desk. Also, they drop me to work and pick me up when the car is done. Wash the car after a service and even when I got a flat tyre sorted, which they fixed for free as part of their service. And also give me free breakdown cover. I can go on and on how efficient and courteous they are. That's why I go back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenlee91 Posted February 28, 2015 Author Share Posted February 28, 2015 If i had a mk3 id go out and check myself i really cant comment any further as i own a Mk2.5 I suggest visually check or phone ford In order to visually check the standard bulb which is already in I would need to remove the Tail Light Housing. And it's been raining most of the day here and still is and now it's dark. I think what I'm going to do is order all the HeadLight bulbs first and install them whilst I'm doing that I'll check the "Reversing Light" fitment. I'll probably take a quick picture when I do and ask your opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Cheers Not sure if you seen this post below as I posted it at the same time as your last reply. Sorry mate was working early yesterday morning and had a very rough week with some new life experiences, Not my usual self since monday, Ive checked the list above and you have all 100% correct, I would add a pair of latex gloves for use when fitting because the oils in human skin can damage the surfaces on all these bulbs imparing light quality, All of the bulb confuguration is identical to the mk2.5 aswell which is good to know too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
