Sorry to be a royal pleb  :laugh:

2X 501 wedge bulbs
2X H1 bulbs
2X H7 bulbs
2X H3 bulbs (fog lights)

ive bought ALL night breaker plus bulbs.

the gold ones look cool  :cool: but you paying for that gold tip and a little whiter lighter but you pay like £10 more for each set for that

Cannot find the link, hit up ukmkivs in their maintenance section. An entire thread on bulbs!

There is probably one on here too actually...

Is it worth me not bothering and buying some nightbreakers insted? or will they both be the same?

I have ordered some Nightbreaker H3's,H1's but I cannot find any 501's  :huh:

501 is just the side light. I don't think there is such a thing as a night breaker side lights. When I bought a full set I just bought standard Osram side lights but they were very yellow so now they've been swapped out for LED's.

I imagine it should be the same idea, tbh.

The best thing to do is fit them and see how much of an improvement they give. For me the night breakers were good, but I now have a set of Depo's and HID to fit because I'd like a little more light.
