Been looking for some new headlamp bulbs, its a total nightmare out there with so many "cheap" ones around.

Am pretty much settled on the Phillips Vision Plus or Osram Silverstar for £15 a pair - I want either a totally white light on a very slighty HID look that doesn't look blue and gay. You see so many cheapy blue leadlamps, then occasionally you see some in a car you know doesn't have HID bulbs and you just want to ask the driver what make they are! Anyone got any advice?

What bulbs does the Valver take as for the Full Beam lights? I know its H7 (same as the Cordy) for Main Beam. Thinking bowt gettin some 120w fucker for the fronts, blind those foglight using saxo drivers!

lol at foxlights - must be what they are cause theres never fog within a hundred miles when they are in use Very Happy

I never knew that there was much choice in headlight bulbs - I've only got a lowly 1.4 19, but I just went into GSF and said "headlight bulbs for a Renault 19 please" and he came back with a paid of nice halogen jobbies which fitted fine and are nice and bright and nice and white (I think whiter that the originals). I still got the boxes in the car so I can check what they are if ya like, but knowing the valver it prolly has special extra-bright ones or summink Smile

Cheers

16V full main beam flashy lights are motorcycle headlights, intresting but pointless fact.
