#4: Re: what bulbs??? Author: Sophia-206-GT, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:37 am ---- thanks im thinking of just getting xenon bulbs at mo not going to bother with hid kits yet but what bulb is better the ice white or ice blue?? they are 55w im guessing 100w would burn the plastic lens??
#5: Re: what bulbs??? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:40 am ---- i got some plasma white ones they h4 too there pretty good and are blue bulbs , yeah think 100w would burn best to stick to the 55, 60w
#6: Re: what bulbs??? Author: Sophia-206-GT, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:44 am ---- yeah the sets im looking at both are blue bulbs but are labeled differently either ice white or ice blue, this is quite confusing stuff, then again i am a blonde!!
#7: Re: what bulbs??? Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:46 am ---- I have seen people on here fit 100w bulbs and been fine but I personally wouldn't imo.
#8: Re: what bulbs??? Author: Sophia-206-GT, Location: East SussexPosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:48 am ---- yeah i think the 60w will be sufficient lol i dont suppose you know what size window wipers i need?? or i am startin to take the p*ss with questions lol

You can Ask as many questions as you like

#11: Re: what bulbs??? Author: eddrj, Location: BerkshirePosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 12:58 am ---- think i got 21s on mine not 100% sure tho def 21 or 22 , with the bulbs dont think its worth risking it with the 100w ones the white plasma ones are made in japan so are good quality bout £12 ebay so still cheap isnt worth gettin real cheap ones like £5 or 6 as they probably wont last and be any good
#12: Re: what bulbs??? Author: ChinaB, Location: TynesidePosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 4:45 am ---- I think your model has the two odd size wipers; try here to check. I got mine from them and they arrived the next day, excellent service. I also bought their own make flat aero blades and I think they're excellent, only cost about £12-13 for the pair.
They've also started selling bulbs through their partner site, although never used them. Incidently, I agree about just going for the Phillips bulbs, more than bright enough without risking being pulled over!
N.B.
I have no affiliation to these websites whatsoever, just reporting that I've found them excellent in the past.
EDIT: Waht a s**t load of typos I posted!

Aren't they deemed "naughty" by the rozzas unless you have self levelling lights though? Or is that a different system I'm confusing it with?
#15: Re: what bulbs??? Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Sep 23, 2010 5:08 am ---- they are yes.
however i have had them for about 2 years passed mots and have never been pulled ( touches wood)
HIDS SHOULD be in projector lamps self leveling and have auto washers. but meh... mine are all good
