New headlamp bulbs

Phillips vision plus aren't blue looking, but give better lighting. The blue looking bulbs are less effective than equivalent clear bulbs. All they have is a blue coating over the bulb to give it the "HID" look, and it doesn't really do that either.

You're not going to get the Mercedes type look with just a bulb swap, that'll involve changing the whole headlight assembly for HID units, alomng with levelling motors and headlight washer systems.

Just noticed on the powerbulbs webby that they have bulbs that give a whiter beam but is blue?

"Excellent Xenon styling - a distinctive white driving light with blue tint

Power Blue is a brand new product from Power Bulbs, the UK’s leading automotive lighting specialist. The product delivers up to 30% more light than a standard bulb whilst also giving a styled blue tint similar to that found with the HID ‘Xenon’ system. Better still, Power Blue is available at a fraction of the cost! "

OR

"Excellent value, great performance and up to 50% more light!

Power Plus (from Power Bulbs) delivers up to 50% more light on the road compared to standard halogen bulbs. The result is a longer, wider beam and significantly improved reflection from signs and the road. Unlike most bulbs, Power Plus is also filled with Xenon gas to deliver maximum performance without increasing the wattage of the product"

I don't know which to go for. It would be so much easier if I could actually see what I would be getting first. smashfreakB.gif

Simon ... I know exactly what u mean mate ... I just wanna be able to test them first aswell ... I want the brightest lights which are the most distinct ... yet I've also seen some cars like the X5 with the purple tinted xenons ... In the Lupo I can't put xenons so, which is the best bulbs 2 buy ... Rustynuts thinks the 50% more light ... What do others think?

I'm going to go for the white light ones which give the 50% extra. Looking forward to blinding all the numpties driving around with their fog lights on. sportifs2.gif

How comes I can see a car without fog lights about 20 cars in front of me on a motorway but they still insist on having them on when I'm directly behind them? smashfreakB.gif

Right bulb knowledge people!!

Whats the difference with these two products on the powerbulbs website?

OSSH7 and PBPPH7

They both look fairly similar (Different makes) but the thing is that with PBPPH7's you get another pair free!

If they're the same I'll obviously go for the freebies but I'd rather have whatever gives the best light

What do you mean he's not willing to do it? Surely you can order as many bulbs as you like? Call back and talk to someone else - I spoke to a lady.

You can order as many bulbs as you like , but the ad. does say ..the free pair offered is of the same fitting as those ordered.

Commercial decision I suppose. frown.gif

I've found their service very good.
