brighter lights?
« on: 05 January 2004, 22:49 »
I have currently got the standard head light lamps in my Mk2 Gti and want to improve their quality as all too often they act more like candles. What strength bulbs would people reccomend me to put in instead and where can i get hold of them (any websites)?

Many thanks,

Mr B.Lind 8)

(yes I would like to blind back those BMWs and Merc's with their new bright bulbs!!)

I've heard good things about Philips Vision Plus, but before you upgrade the bulds you might wanna build one of them uprated headlight looms which use a relay to get a direct 12v feed.  Supposed to make alot of difference, you can either make one yourself or there is a guy on the www.clubgti.com forums who makes them for you for ?20

I saw a guide to making up your own loom. I think it was on www.matey-matey.com. I'll double check for you....

...knew i wasn't going mad. Check out that website and click on "tech articles", there should be a good step-by-step guide on there.
