Bulbs

Featured Replies

Hey lads.

I was thinking of maybe changing the bulbs in my focus as it seems alot of you do it around here so it must be for a good reason :).

I'm wondering which bulbd I should change for the best effect?

My car: Focus mk2.5 colour Vision blue if that helps.

I don't want to purchase from ebay if possible.

Any help will be much appreciated :).



Just given up on Osram Nightbreaker, the last pair only lasted 3 months and at about £25 a pair its just not worth it.

called into Aldi this evening and picked up a spare bulb kit with 2 H7s in for £5.99. Still have Nightbreakers in the main beam but following other cars dip beam is ok,, given up on the auto head lights as they turn on and off at the slightest shadow..

Find your local parts shop, they usually have them in stock and if not should order them for you.

Yeah might check halfords out mate :).

I use standard Narva bulbs. Good price, good light and they last for a long time. Recently I have read a topic about bulbs available at Lidl stores - it was explained that they are in fact product of Tesla, they are made in Osram factory in Germany on the same production line. H7 kit (2 bulbs) is just a few quid. Will try them next time.

I tried some expensive bulbs before, but they are way to expensive in my opinion and they last only for 1 to 4 months if you do a lot of night driving or use lights during day.

Osram Nightbreaker plus are good for brightness although mine only lasted 4 months, although I do a lot of driving in the dark. I got those ones on the bay so I tried Amazon instead and got this pair from amazon:

Also got some free sidelight bulbs which was a nice surprise as they are whiter than the original ones and go well with the osrams. Hopefully they will last a bit longer than the pair I got from ebay :)
