New Lights :D

Post by Arnoldo »

Ok im looking to get new headlights and sidelights. Looking a nice blue tinge of them like xeons. Thinking of using www.powerbulbs.co.uk as they are having an offer "buy one get one free" and also u get free sidelights. All delivered for £20 !! Just looking to know what u guys think? Also need to know which ones to get e.g. H1 H7 etc

Cheers

Take a look at the Best Way To Get Sidelights Out thread. It explains everything you need.

As for new sidelights, i strongly suggest LED ones from ultraleds.comThe philips bluevision sidelights are pretty poor, and not much different from standards.

I just ordered PowerBlue from powerbulbs. The free set can be exchange for the H1 bulbs providing you buy the H7s to compensate for the cost difference.

You Need :

2x H7 for Foglights
2x H7 for Dipped Beam
2x 501 or W5W bulbs for sidelights (they are the same bulb just different codes)
2x H1 for High Beam

No worries man! Ye, well my new bulbs (PowerBlue) are gonna arrive some time this week. I'll take some new photos and put them on a new thread towards the end of the week. If you wish, i'll PM you with some pictures of the bulbs before you buy so you can see what they look like.

Cheers,

Alex
