iNath Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey19 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 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!

iNath Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey19 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 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.

iNath Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 And are they as white as the pics ? 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 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordieashx Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Got a link to the ones you got inath ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 do they come with the sidelights aswell ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
