Blue Reverse Bulbs...

[rhaines]

Hiya peeps,

A couple of you got the Blue Reverse bulbs from George on Sunday at JAE, hope your all happy with them, I find them a lot brighter in mine, although they don't quite look the same as in a Blue Lex, did anyone get a photo of these which we coul post ?

Spoke to George this morning to see if I could put his mobby on the web and he's said he'll keep these bulbs discounted to £10 a pair for LOC members....

If you want a set drop me a PM and I'll put you on the list, I'll give George a call once a week if there is enough interest and arrange the postage of the bulbs to whoever wants them :)

Not sure how to sort payments P&P out yet but am sure some bright spark on here will have a good idea :D

I'll take some piccies tonight and post them for everyone to see what you're talking about. :)

These are definitely brighter at night, with a hint of blue in them. The only criticism I have at the moment with these bulbs is that they aren't very bright during the day.

Don't know about you guys, but I would want any driver behind me to know when I'm reversing during daylight. I'm off out to the car park now to have another look. Will report back later B)

I got a set too.. i totally agree with Ifraz's comments......... but they do look the part.... a little pricy i thought. Spoke to George about getting the HID look full beam bulb... so i keep you posted when i get them and compare them to my existing Phillips blue.

Here are the photo's I took about 15 mins ago... they actually seem pretty bright now in the day. B)

I couldn't understand what you guys were on about when you said they looked dimmer than standard in daylight :duh: I put one in and compared it to standard and it was loads brighter. They have a bit too much of a blue tint in them for comfort though, so I expect to be pulled by the local constabulary before too long

No doubt someone will now spend the next 2 hours replying with the legal and moral implications of having slightly blue tinted lamps on your car :shutit: :shutit: :shutit:

[rhaines]

In the dark no blue tint at all :)

I thought some of you might like them, I didn't realise 9 of you would buy them on the day lol....

It's going to be standard equipment soon...

I am mistaken...you're right Andy, they are loads brighter, even in the day. When I first looked at them on in JAE the sun was shinning down hard which made it difficult to see.
