Will-MK7 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hi everyone! I would like to upgrade my bulbs to super white ones. But the ones I like are illegal I think (Philips and osram) as these do look the best. But I would like some brighter bulbs that are legal if anyone has any recommendations? Many Thanks in advance :) Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bry0586 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 in my zr i had 50w rally bulbs, with them pointed down slightly so not to dazzle people, went through 2-3 mots without a problem, 100w rally bulbs are meant to be be similar to HIDS from what i hear, but the light pattern is the same as normal bulbs.

M4RC Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 If you want to stay legal your best options are either Philips diamond white or osram hyper blues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will-MK7 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 Are these any good?

M4RC Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 It really depends what your after.. They osram ones will be brighter but more yellow and the Philips are also bright but a nice white but both are legal. I've literally spend hundreds on bulbs and finally ended up with HIDs, although they won't pass an MOT as long as there not to high a kelvin you won't get pulled as the fiesta projectors don't blind people.

Will-MK7 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Cheers again mark, I will probably just start of with the osram bulbs and see how I get on, if I want brighter I will just get hids like you haha :) Thanks again Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NQbbe Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 If you want something that puts out a lot of light, I'd say Philip Extremevision or Osram Nightbreaker Plus (I personally use the latter) They're not blue, they just light up the road very well. Also I'd personally stay clear of HID sets - most aftermarket sets end up sending most of the light upwards (away from the road) leaving you with less vision than the stock bulbs. (Not saying M4RC's kit does this, just saying many do - this is also why they're illegal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their Osram's best nightbreakers, I personally use them myself and they light up the the road very well. I've got a video on youtube showing what it looks like from the front and what it looks like when driving although my left side beam is dipped far too low in the video.

Will-MK7 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Yeah they are the bulbs I was going for the night breakers, as most people do recommend them! Thanks again :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky2013 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 With halogen's Ive found nightbreaker unlimiteds give the brightest best light on the road, but osram blue hypers look the best and are crisp white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattDRX Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Philips Diamond Visions are actually illegal in the EU ( says on the packet ) Unsure on Osram Ultimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky2013 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 yup they are illegal, 4200 or 4300k is the legal limit, diamond and hypers are 5000k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Ok thanks guys, I did see that the Philips ones did say they were illegal Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will-MK7 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 For the sidelights & number plate light what bulbs do you recommend to get? I know they are 501 capless & for the main beam should I get the osram night breakers to match the dipped beam? Thank you!

Will-MK7 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Cheers mate, I will just get the night breakers! Have a nice blue tint to them! Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Ford OC Np, but i wouldn't say these exactly have a blue tint to them, they are more of a white colour. You should also try the 'Phillips X-Treme Vision' as I heard their more whiter but do not throw as much light out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I had a look last night on eBay at some night breaker bulbs for main and dipped beam. Most people recommend these bulbs as well as they are road legal which is what I want. Thanks for the vid though mate :) Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
