Title: Headlight/bulbs
Post by: x21ekx on July 04, 2012, 10:15:38 pm

Looking for a little advice really
I want to update the lights on my gt tdi but there's no way my budget would go to xenon's
So I was wondering if any of you guys have updated your side lights to LEDS(an If there any good) and uprated your headlights?(bulbs)If so could you give me some feed back and maybe point me in the right direction
I'm looking for a brighter whiter fresher look
Cheers guys :happy2:

In my dipped I have MTEC 12v 55w SUPER WHITE bulbs as they give a nice white light:

And in the full beam I have the Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs. These are not as white as the above but give off more light, which is the whole point of full beam.

I used to have LED's in the side lights but found them too blue compared to the dipped lights so just went for some Philips Blue Vision Ultra. These are not as bright (or blue) as LED and are whiter then standard bulbs.

For the white LED's, try Powerbulbs on the web. Phillips or Osram are your choice.
