hiace_drifter Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Hi folks. I need to replace one of the headlight bulbs (dipped) on my 14 plate focus estate. Is there any benefit to upgrading them at this point, or are bog standard bulbs good enough. Please link to any recommended bulbs as it's a bit of a minefield out there!

StephenFord Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 The thing about 'upgrading' bulbs, is that you will inevitably be left disappointed. The shiny graphic on their adverts, and packaging promise much, but it really is difficult to see difference over 'standard'. Having said that I upgraded mine a while back to Philips Xtreme vision - posting on a forum like this you'll get loads of opinions, kinda like asking what the best tire for my car, everyone will differ...

TomsFocus Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Had a set of Phillips H7s in the Golf since summer 2018...no idea what you did to yours! I went through no end of Nightbreakers in 306s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiace_drifter Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 My last focus (59 plate) seemed to go through no end of bulbs ... I hope the 14 plate is better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
