Title: Xenon Recommendations
Post by: GTi-Andy on November 06, 2014, 07:20:48 pm: Hi all. Now that the longer dark days are here I'm wondering if there's a xenon bulb upgrade available for the standard xenon bulb?

Any recommendations and links please.

I think you must be talking about xenon style bulbs, these are actual xenon upgrade bulbs :happy2:

Post by: screech on November 07, 2014, 04:17:19 pm: I was running Osram Nightbreaker UNLIMITED XENARC in mine for the last couple of months owning the car. I installed them after reading the extensive review on the R32 (i think) forum.

~~I've got a pair for sale too if you are interested.~~

Hope this helps.
