what bulbs on mk3 gti head lights?
« on: 20 April 2012, 20:11 »
hello all

could some one tell what bulbs are used on mk3 gti headlights for main beam and high beam. The place where the actual bulbs sit says H1 on both main and full beam bulbs and are they both same as I bought some GTI head lights to fit my 1.4  :grin: and they came without bulbs. appriciate the help, many thanks.

Yes H1 for main and dipped. W501 for sidelights- just swapped mine over for Philips X-Treme vision, a much better light output

go to powerbulbs who have given GGTI a club discount, all you need do is put in the vehicle details and it will give you the options for your car. as mentioned for better light output the phillips xtreme are very good.

I also run Philips Xtreame bulbs. The actual beam pattern on them is far superior to the standard bulbs that were in there initially.
