Hiya guys,
On here somewhere, I cannot fully remember where some body said that these type of bulbs
www.performancecreatio...-955-p.jpg
were quite good and bright like hid ones so I went and bought a set and fitted them in my morrettes and whilst I am driving at night I can barely see the road especially along parts of road where the local council decide theye are gonna try to save some money and turn street lights off, what I wanna know is it cause I am using these bulbs in morrette style healights? Or simply are there some better ones that are actually brighter like hid's.
If anyone has any advice please help or if anyone knows whether it would be better to maybe just use normal bulbs or even get a hid converter kit?
Any help would be appreciated

They should only fit in one way due to the lugs.
From what I've heard in the past, Morrettes aren't the best for light output anyway. Crystals all the way.
Have you checked your headlights are aligned correctly?

Its nothing to do with the fitting, those type of bulbs are designed for looks, i.e. HID looking light, rather than actual light output.

I have the Superwhites fitted and they outshine the Osram Nightbreaker+ which I had fitted previously.

I had the Philips X-Treme Vision's in my Morettes, vision was slightly improved but far from great. I went for 6500k HIDs not looked back - may be worth a shot.

I had nightbreaker plus + before these and I'd never get them again. They just looked like standard bulbs to me and have lasted since november to last week, Worst £14.99 I ever spent!
100% happy with my MTEC's 55w input 110w output and they don't dazzle other drivers either.
