Headlight bulbs

Post by simonruth »

Was thinking of fitting "extra bright" bulbs to try an improve things a bit - does anyone know if these are ok to fit, or is there a better way to boost candle power?

Osram nightbreaker plus H4's are the way to go in the first instance but I can whole heatedly recommend the relay mod if you really want to make a substantial improvement.

It depends on which headliamps you have, Night breakers only come in H4 fitting if you have the earlier P45 bulbs you will need to fit a H4 bulb adaptor or replace the lamps with the H4 type especially if you reflectors are dull, no point in doing any upgrade if the reflectors can't shine the light.
