Title: Need new bulbs! which ones?
Post by: ChrisJones on 24 October 2012, 16:48

I really need to get some new bulbs for my headlights!
have been told about the osram nightbreaker plus
How many bulbs do i need to get to change all the bulbs in the headlight, are they H1, H4, H7.
A lot of options are coming up on different sites!
Cheers for any help!

Osram night breakers2 or Philips xtreme are the way to go.

I had nightbreakers, they made a slight difference, but not much.
You will notice more of a difference with Philips Diamond Vision or xtreme.

I have Xtreme bulbs in mine,  the beam pattern is so defined in comparison to standard cheapo bulbs.

Oh and if your headlights are dual like mine, with the brights separate to the dims/normal lights, then both sets are H1, if it's single lights like 1 bulb for both, then it should be H4.

Just pull the bulbs out to make sure before buying to be safe.
