Title: Night Breakers and side lights
Post by: Standard on February 27, 2017, 19:02
I want to swap to night breakers and wanted the side lights to match colour... which ones go together?

It's Osram H7 I need for PFL isn't it?

I thought PFL were H4 as FL is H7?

Yes, H7 is FL. I know because I've just fitted nightbreaker lasers.

I've been using H1 Nightbreakers on my Accord, noticeably better light output but a disappointing life.

The light that shines twice as bright.....
Personally I find the shortened life expectancy a fair trade off for the improvement in night vision

H4 for PFL then?

Did you change your side light bulbs?

Nope, no point. They're only little things.

Genuinely, I don't use side bulbs very often. I have DRLs on my MR2 and my daily has auto-lights (basically on or off) as well as DRLs.

I'm waiting with interest for someone to answer this as well so that I can order some myself [emoji2]

I've just bought Philips XtremeVision 130% extra light. I think they're excellent.

I have some on the way but the headlights could do with splitting and sealing as well so fitting the bulbs might wait. Unless the extra heat dries the lights out for me!

I went for the Osram 'xenon look' sidelight bulbs, about £6 off eBay, give a slightly whiter tone. Contemplated LEDs but cannot be chewed with fishing them back out when they stop working
