antward91 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Can anyone recommend any bulbs (main,dipped,side and fog) that give off a real bright white look without the HID Kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Best out there better than osram and Bosch http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111442788867?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I for one recommend the Bosch Pure Light bulbs, brilliant white light. Sent from my Gen 1 WAP phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 At least one of the statements in the detailed description of the eBay product is just plain wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_bound Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm interested in these as well, and am I right to assume these are a straight swap for the existing OEM bulbs? mjt, what is wrong in the description and does it affect using them?

mjt Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The information that is wrong does not affect using them. I just pointed that out to warn that sellers can make exaggerated and/or downright incorrect claims about their products and it's best to treat them with a modicum of circumspection :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south_bound Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 OK thanks - thats one of the reasons I look for recommendations from people who have used the same products and think they are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The Bosch bulbs are a straight swap, yes. Here is a photo of them now (dips) Sent from my Gen 1 WAP phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Easily cheaper and brighter and last longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antward91 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 Easily cheaper and brighter and last longer the eBay link you posted had the 6500k bulbs mate? Maximum is 4200k to be road legal don't you get bothered by the police? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 That's why I use Osrams. Bright but legal :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Never bothered by police passes mots no problem at all no issues from other drivers they are e marked and approved for road use I think you'll find that as these are basically halogen bulbs with xenon gas in them the 4200k means nothing that refers to hid kits they are road legal and e marked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artscot79 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 The reason I changed is I drive unlit country roads where foxes deer and numpties in black hoodies tend to walk while the osrams were an improvement they just weren't enough unless on high beam same with the Bosch the autobulbs cobalt were despite auto express tests dissapointing so ide avoid them the above are like daylight and show more of the road much further as I say each to their own but for cost and effectiveness I really cant argue my mates Halfords super bright bulbs are pants compared to mine and he paid nearly £30 I'm not saying you must buy them all on saying is there is other bulbs that cost less and are better performing and certainly better lasting than osram and Bosch Minimum light you should take for any xenon filled bulbs is 6000k the autobulbs were 4500k and shocking didn't last Long either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antward91 Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 http://www.phoenixautobulbs.co.uk/tp/xenon-bulbs-separating-fact-from-fiction/ thanks for that mate.
