GrannyGranny Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Well, good job I didn't recommend them isn't it. The Phillips extremem are great. Bulbs that are blue (unless factory fitted HID systems) are crap. And illegal. The only forward facing lights on a vehicle should only be white and orange (indicators).

bullerboY Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Its only legal for emergency vehicles to show blue lights to front or rear,also the power emitted should not exceed construction and use regulations on any headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number Six Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Headlights in general seem to be getting a lot brighter. Or I'm getting older. Or the MOT tester aren't checking alignment anymore. Whatever the cause, I seem to find a lot of oncoming cars quite dazzling this winter. Not seen *too* many people doing the old 'one light is broken so I'll use main beam on the other' routine, but it's only November ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Maybe they're the 100W non road legal bulbs you can get from Ebay? One chav on the Pug forum I use put them in and they melted his wiring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_Collins Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I have HID bulbs in my golf at the moment. The golf has separate high and low beams which are best for retro fitting. Some of the cars fitted with the HID's are single bulbs high and low and they blinking blind you !!!!!! I went for the 8000k bulbs which have the blue tint and look good and better for other road users. The 10000k & 12000k bulbs you see boy racers with are unreal bright ice white and just far too much for UK road use. I fitted HID out of use where I drive which is through Sherwood Forrest daily , the golfs OEM bulbs fitted were pathetic for this use. Right prices and best to buy. Don't buy slim fit as they not worth it, I've replaced 2 out of my 4 bulbs as the ballasts failed within days of fitting. Buy the bulb and a separate high quality heavy duty heatsinked ballast. The units as a whole bulb and ballast should set you back no more than £60 from eBay per pair. Fitting is a a little tricky depending on your car. For VAG systems it's also recommended you wire them directly to you car battery and bypass your cars computer power system as they can blow things, this also helps with flickering when powering up.
