Title: Bright White Halogen Bulbs - Recommendations Please
Post by: H18Golf on February 14, 2018, 03:06:46 pm

Hi,

Looking for a bit of help if possible.  Basically, my mate has a Mercedes A Class and recently noticed how bad his standards lights are compared to my Xenon headlights   :smiley:.  He is looking to make his lights brighter without a HID kit and is looking for recommendations.  He would like a white looking bulb, no yellows or blue colours.  He knows new lights wont go as bright as my Xenons but wants as bright as is legal.

I know this question gets asked a lot but with new bulbs always appearing on the market maybe something new is available that I cannot find using a search of the forum.

Any help is greatly appreciated.   :happy2:

Hello H18

I purchased and fitted a pair of these to my Mk5 Golf GTI back in December. In short they're excellent & have made such a difference over the standard bulbs

Couldn't recommend them enough and certainly worth a punt for under £18.00!

Cheers
George

Thank you all for your input, I have passed the information to my mate and he can decide what he wants to do.

I noticed the other day people on eBay selling LED lights with built in canbus, fans etc.  Has anyone used these successfully without errors or any other problems.  They look good but im not sure of them.  Are these just HID kits even though the description doesn't mention this?
