Wanting to upgrade headlight & sidelights bulbs
« on: 10 August 2014, 11:32 »
I'm looking to upgrade my mk6 bulbs from the standard yellow halogens to some osram night breakers. I've found a kit that has H7 dipped beam and H1 sidelights/daytime running lights.

Are these the bulbs I need? I've checked my owners manual but it doesn't state which bulbs to use.

Dipped beam is H7,main beam and DRL are H15, no Nightbreaker option for the H15, but Autobulbs are offering an upgrade bulb.

Ultra also do a ice white/blue tint road legal bulb but there £44 which is expensive just for slightly brighter lights.

Decided against the ultra bulbs.....

Thinking they won't match the bright white osram night breakers. Bright white then the DRL being a blue tint, wouldn't gel I think.
