bright HID type 55w bulbs?
« 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:

For what? Side lights? Dipped? Main beam? Number plates? Interior?

Just get these for £6.40. I have them and they are white light.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-GOLF-MK4-GTi-ICE-WHITE-XENON-HEADLIGHT-BULBS-/310245156794?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item483c0d67ba

Exactly the same light output as the philips and less money.. WIN!
