Headlight Bulb Advice...

JPWilson · February 19, 2013

Morning guys....

One of my headlights looks to be a bit dimmer than the other and its starting to irritate me now....

Other than getting a HID kit and doing that, are there better bulbs than other i can just directly fit in place of the current ones?

Whats the best and brightest i can get without the conversion?

Any advice welcome, cheers people ;-)

Theres these, depends on how much you want to spend, The dearest are comparable in price with a cheap HID set-up. I have the first set and found them better than standard.

Thanks mate.. yeah the first 2 look simpler options really, one is dim and the other is fine but it irritates me and if these are a bit better than standard ill just get a set of these...

Is it a simple thing to change the bulbs?

Dead easy mate, just unplug wiring and twist to remove bulb, the passenger ones a bit tight, but can be done without dismantling anything.

Thanks mate... ill order some up and see how i go, im thinking of getting the Osram ones...

I think id buy the osram ones if i had to replace mine again. The cheap hid,s are probably good but i dont trust chinese cheapies.

Had my Chinese cheapies in for over 4 years now lol, i'v never had any probs with them at all and their just as easy to fit as replacement bulbs!

I bought 4 sets a few months back to do my mates MGT-F and the misses Coupe, came with-in 2 weeks and all for less than £70, misses didnt want high beam as she dosnt really go out at night so i stuffed them in my front fogs lol...
