What headlight bulbs do you use?

[Krish]

Looking to change bulbs as mine seem dim. It's the non hid version. So H1's I believe.

Seen these piaa night techs

There are loads of others out there but not too sure which are rated highly.

So... What you all using?

I used Phillips Extreme Vision in the S15 and they were a big improvement over the standard bulbs that were in it when I got it.. I've since used them and Osram Nightbreakers in my golf :ghey: and they're both equally good :thumbs: (the Osrams didn't last as long but I think they've now improved them to last longer...)

I bought a 6000k HID kit mate, cost me £40 and parked next to my mates S15 with factory HIDS looked identical light output.

I think this would cause me issues at MOT time I believe?

Just had a look on eBay and it looks simple enough I suppose... Hmm

Did you have any issues with a MOT over this? just curious was the light pattern all outa wack

I thought I heard now that non factory hid's would fail a uk mot now?

I went with the HIDs in the end. No problem on MOT.
1 trips out occasionally after putting on the full beam but nvm!

I have non HID headlights and currently have 6000k HID kit installed and it passed the NCT twice (MOT equivalent). No problems with light pattern as the lamps have a projector design (rather than reflector)

Hope this makes sense :thumbs:
