Post by: northeast_gti-t on 28 February 2009, 20:09: Well today my awaited parcel of phillips 'bluevision'bulbs arrived :grin: H1 main beam bulbs,H7 dipped beam bulbs and W5W sidelight bulbs

Post by: rheady on 01 March 2009, 00:33: What are they like when driving in the dark, is the beam shorter than before, some bulbs shorten the beam length which puts me off changing the bulbs on mine.
Title: Re: Now With 'Bluevision'
Post by: Steve_PD on 01 March 2009, 00:44: the beam length is longer and brighter :afro:
