Bulbs Whats best?

smurf79 · 19th June 2008, 15:25

I've noticed that most people on here have upgraded the standard bulbs but which would they recommend? I've noticed the most popular are either Osram Nightbreakers or the Philips Xtreme/Vision plus.

It all depends in what you want to achieve. If you want something thats going to give the best light output then yes the Philips +80% and Osram +90% bulbs will be the best options. If you want something thats going to give you a blue tint then something like the Philips Blue vision are a good option or if you want just a whiter light then something like the Philips Power 2 night bulbs are a good option as they also give 50% more light output

does it actually make that much of a difference as the standard fit ones seem fine to me??

With the Philips Xtreme Power and Osram Night Breaker bulbs you will get an extra 80/90% more light on the road so a noticeable difference over standard bulbs.
