What Bulbs Do I Need?

Featured Replies

Evening,

Had a read through the bulb change guide and now feel ready to attack my lights!

Which ones need changing for the best appearance - which bulbs should I get?

I've seen Philips Bluevision mentioned (are these road legal?) and also Osram Nightbreakers - which are best?

So far the best prices I've found are dipped beam & number plate - any recommendations?

Thanks all in advance :)



I've just bought all my new bulbs, in my opinion these are the best to get without breaking the law:

H1(fullbeam) & H7(Dippedbeam): blue vision ultra 4000k

H11(foglights): ozram night breaker plus

You get free blue vision sidelights with the ultra 4000k so just use these for your sidelights

These are bulbs are the maximum legal power and are the closest you will get to HID.

In terms of number plate lights these are the ABSOLUTE best you can get for the best price;

ebay item number: 190494482526

Hope this helps!

Harvey you're amazing - thanks very much for your help! The LED number plate lights I linked to looked very similar so I think I'll get everything ordered :D

No problem my friend! I hope you like the end product, I bought all mine of ebay for £25 each.

And yea those LED's will be fine, the seller for the ones I posted to you is very reliable so thought it might be a better shout.

Just ordered mine £19 for dipped headlights!

are those phillips ones as good as osrams nightbreakers plus??...coz they are epic bulbs

The phillips are closer to the xenon look

Are you suggesting my camera lies? :P

I'll be honest, I don't spend that much time stood in front of my car with the lights on but they light light up the road a treat ;)

I'd say they're more bluey to start off with but do go whiter after a few weeks. Boyfriend had them in his ST and now has them in his Audi, so they must be good :)

Got a link to the ones you got inath ?

The seller I bought from no longer has them listed, the cheapest currently on eBay appears to be these.

do they come with the sidelights aswell ??

The auction doesn't mention it but others using the same photo do - may be worth checking with the seller.
