Bulbs

Post by thebrief_1979 »

I want to get some decent bulbs but really have no idea what is good value for money. The current bulbs are all weather ones - Yellow in colour and useless. Ideally want them to be as clear white as possible but you can spend anything from a couple of pounds to £75 for a pair of Piaa ones.

would probably consider a kit to uprate them if necessary but not a HID kit.

advice please - thanks

I put Phillips Blue Vision bulbs in the passat, not totally white but getting there - nice and bright too...

Same as Ryan, spot on a brighter than some "cheapies"! I got mine from ECP for about £20 a pair.

Also, if you have not yet relayed the headlight loom, do so.

Doh!
Yep I'd go with this first - as you may find the bulbs will be fine thereafter - however you may still want to relay the bulbs if you swap them first...
