Title: Headlight bulbs
Post by: chris goldson on September 26, 2016, 19:57
Just been out at night for the first timer and realised how poor the lights are.

Can anyone recommend bulb upgrades and how easy are they to get at please?


Best Wishes


Chris

Hi Many thanks for this

No headlamp lenses fine. Where can I get the bulbs from and are they easy to get at on the car.

Thanks for your help

Plenty of places sell the osrams online.
Pretty sure Halfords sell them too.

Are you a FaceLift or a PreFaceLift?

Then you want H7.
I have Osram Nightbreakers installed 2 years now & one just failed.
Going to try the Philips X-treme Vision this time. I liked the Nightbreakers. Just trying the Philips for a change.

I've just had a whine on the FB group about no decent Black Friday deals and then.....
The new Night Breaker Lasers (Twin) are £20 for the H7s
http://www.powerbulbs.com/product/osram-night-breaker-laser-h7-twin
And £18 for the H4s (Twin)
http://www.powerbulbs.com/product/osram-night-breaker-laser-h4-twin

From what I gather, they only make the Laser range in these two sizes, so regular night breakers for Full beam FL (Not required for PFL)

I'll let you know, The ones in my car right now are rather yellow.
