Xenon
« on: 12 November 2004, 15:01 »
FYI:

I have bought some Xenon bulbs for my 16v - 2 x H1 and side lights.

I really recommend given crap English winter, great white light compared with OEM.

Not sure now - maybe that was halogen.
But i thought that was what the H stood for. :-\

Last time i looked as better bulbs i read sumthin on the box that said that they were not recommended for short trips. Is that the Blue light ones?
