Title: bright HID type 55w bulbs?
Post by: Craig1.8T on 09 October 2011, 19:52: hello I have just purchased a mk4 golf, what I'm looking for is 55w bulbs that produce a bright white light instead of the dingy yellow as standard. I have been looking about and cant really seem to find anything.. any help would be appreciated. :grin:

I had cheap ones before but i found they didn't last well at all, mine went in a matter of a few months the name brands seem to be much better.

Ive had my phillips in for years :smiley:

Just my opinion though :smiley:
