Had a bulb go last night had to put the Golf in to a snow drift to keep it off the road till i picked it up later as the fools were trying to shoot up the road and just mashing it up the bulb must have cooled down to fast when i put it in the drift and gone, replaced it today with a spair old bulb but its more yellower then my other bulb as i have white bulbs well the police pull me for this? or you think i well be ok till i get new bulbs ?
Which are the best stranded fitting bulbs i can get ? Main beam white/ligther
Thanks

No problems with the law on mixing bulbs, only thing it might effect is your visibility. But I wouldn't worry.
Philips blue vision usually get a thumbs up for whiter/brighter bulbs.
I run 80/100W Ring rally bulbs on the Golf and they are very, very bright, there's a comparison here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=49436.msg410777#msg410777

Thanks Ben
Were best place to get them, just a auto store? or can you get them cheaper on line?

I've always bought them from the wholesaler, but http://www.powerbulbs.com/ and Ebay have been mentioned by other folks.
Bear in mind that anything over 80W (IIRC) isn't 'e' marked, ie. not legal. And the Ring bulbs do have a tendency to melt wiring looms, but I live in the sticks, so its an acceptable trade off for me.

is this a good price and which are the best ?

higher wattage rating and you're into HID territory and at risk of being shot at dawn :grin:
but if you do chose to get higher wattage bulbs you can always add relays so your wiring stays safe :smiley:
