Black Magic Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I recently bought some Philips Etreme Vision main beam bulbs for my Ford Focus Titanium 2011, but when I put the main beam on the fuse blows straight away. Can anybody advice me on what the problem is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmole Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Obviously a short somewhere, did you bend/break or pinch a wire? or manage to put the plug back on wrongly? I'd go check/ If that looks ok, put the original bulbs back in. I that sorts it its the new bulbs (unlikely) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryPL Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 You'll need to get used to changing the bulbs anyway. The Xtreme Vision bulbs have a habit of dying very quickly. Am currently trying to find a brighter bulb than the crappy standard one Ford use, but which doesn't die before the winter's out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I've never had to replace Osram Nightbreakers. Always found these reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btmaldon Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Much better than stock. Nice pure white light rather than the chavy blue tints. Go for the Osram Night Breaker Ultimates or better (if they have them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom1994 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I take it you'd advise against the Blue Intense then? Night Breakers seem to be somewhat cheaper, on amazon anyway. Any recommended shops? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
