Title: Which Dipped Beam Bulb?
Post by: mcscoobs on November 14, 2018, 07:16:19 am

One of my dipped beam bulbs have gone - I can see the bulb I need is an H7 477 bulb. However, looking on Halfords website, there's about 40 different types of this bulb for my car  :confused:

Any recommendations?

low beam and high beam on halogen headlights are both H7 bulbs.

Side light is a 501

Thanks - my issue is that there's a good 30 or 40 H7 bulbs to choose from, so I don't know which is a good one  :laugh:

Ive had good results with Ring, Osram and Philips  search Autobulbs and Powerbulbs  As always price check can get them 1/2 price with codes.
Ive also had amazing results with 65W and 100W :grin: :grin:

Gone for these, just installed them a minute ago... but what sidelights go nice with these?  Maybe this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-WhiteVision-Effect-12961NBVB2-Blister/dp/B00MZQUU70/ref=pd_bxgy_263_2/261-8857422-8531341?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00MZQUU70&pd_rd_r=e833b50f-ed96-11e8-8f7c-734f98c58a09&pd_rd_w=vVfkT&pd_rd_wg=ry1L6&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=466c8fd0-3653-4c9b-86fa-f9bc8fd2ae35&pf_rd_r=H4THWSVXXWJMW2JZDB3V&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=H4THWSVXXWJMW2JZDB3V (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-WhiteVision-Effect-12961NBVB2-Blister/dp/B00MZQUU70/ref=pd_bxgy_263_2/261-8857422-8531341?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00MZQUU70&pd_rd_r=e833b50f-ed96-11e8-8f7c-734f98c58a09&pd_rd_w=vVfkT&pd_rd_wg=ry1L6&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_p=466c8fd0-3653-4c9b-86fa-f9bc8fd2ae35&pf_rd_r=H4THWSVXXWJMW2JZDB3V&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=H4THWSVXXWJMW2JZDB3V)
