#1: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 11:42 am ---- I have seen threads like these dotted about, but I'm no good with the search thingy.
I'm only looking at upgrading the full beam, I'm putting blue bulbs in the dipped and fogs. Anybody got any suggestions? I am considering HIDs, but it'd rather put bulbs in.
Cheers, Mike
#2: Re: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 11:43 am ---- philips diamond vision 5000k
#3: Re: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: crossie, Location: BirminghamPosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 11:45 am ---- Ive got HIDs in my angels and they look good
#4: Re: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: Mike_XS, Location: SouthamptonPosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 11:47 am ---- I am considering HIDs. But I know there are upgrade bulbs that I can just put on the full beam to make them brighter. Or do they not make much difference?

#7: Re: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 11:56 am ---- I have Xenon in mine. The blue glass filters out the yellow light leaving a crisp white light. I have 55w H7 in the headlamp and 55w H1 in the fogs. You can upgrade to 100w in main beam and fogs. Got all 6 bulbs plus 2 501s for £18.
#8: Re: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 11:58 am ---- i got the ultra ones off ebay same exact ones on ecosse they plasma white and blue tipped.
Brighter than normal ones and bout £11.
Also have ultra sidelight bulbs to match.
#9: Re: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 12:00 pm ---- Philips x-treme are the best halogen bulbs on the market.
If you are upgrading to 100watt, for the love of god upgrade the wiring as well

#16: Re: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: Iain, Location: Aberdeen, ScotlandPosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 12:44 pm ---- Either Phillips X-treme or Osram Nightbreakers. Had both and think they're very equal. They always win the group tests.
#17: Re: Best headlight bulb upgrade? Author: Jamie1337, Location: Dorchester, DorsetPosted: Tue Feb 22, 2011 1:02 pm ---- Osram Nightbreakers for white light, Philips xtreme for yellower (but slightly stronger) light. There may be other bulbs but I can't say I've tested them, such as the one in the ads on DAVE (forget the name haha)
