Headlamp bulbs

Anyone replaced or upgraded driving and headlamp bulbs.... I usually upgraded my blades and 10rs to superbright bulbs..

Any H7 55w bulb will do.
Personally I bought Philips "X-Treme Vision" bulbs which claim to have a 130% longer beam length.

Otherwise, if you'd like to go HID then I would look for a H7 Plug and Play, 55w, Slim Ballast kit with a 4-6000k bulb for the Dipped light only and stick a good H7 in the high beam.

HID isn't suitable for High Beam as it has a warmup time and does not flash well.
Once you're done with that some whiter side lights will complete the look.

This is the setup have; 55w 5000k HID, Philips H7 XtremeVision High Beam, "Canbus" White LED side lights.

As per what Alex says. The 55w will burn out faster. I use a 55w for high beam and 50w for standard beam for that reason.

On it now ...

You will have less issues without the LED sidelights. Philips W5W White visions will be a safer bet.

Ordered 55w plus 130 and w5w running lights... see how it goes...like the idea of LED just dont wamt any hassle

Took onboard advice. Fitted extreme bulbs plus 130 x 2 and w5w x 2... Look amazing.....

Stevie got them on Amazon... I can't get a link on this tablet. W5W. And H7 +130. I paid 6 quid for sides and 23 for the main... Huge difference ... Really crisp white colour..
