Title: Shocking front lights
Post by: ChrisJones on 11 September 2011, 16:19

I used the car for the first time in the dark last night for months and could not get over how poor my lights are on both dim and main beam.
They are the standard headlights and standard bulbs.
Anybody got any good suggestions to new bulbs that I could buy? (makes and watts)
Am i right in saying that the dim and headlight are two different bulbs?
Any advice would be great. (I dont want to change the headlights)
Thanks
 :smiley:

Just had a look through ebay, saw these?
Any good?

yeh the reflectors are in good condition and the beam is set right, lights are always clean etc.
just checked out the osram breakers. about £20 for the dip and another £20 for the main from what i can see, bit more than what i want to spend really.  :sad:
£20 for both the dip and the main would be good cause they are all diff bulbs!
