View Full Version : Philips Vision Plus Bulbs
Stuck some into the Morettes, and was well chuffed on the way home tonight. They give a much better spread of light, with a longer range, and a whiter, less tiring beam colour. Well pleased! :)

If I wasnt selling the car I would definately get a set of these. I have heard nothing but good things about them. How much did you pay for them Mike?
They look good, may well consider getting some.
Having heard very good things about them, I have just purchased a pair myself :)
Hope to get the free 'blue' side lights too!
With the current weather, i could definitely use a bit more light too see in which direction i am sliding....:p
Yep, good bulbs, I have a set in my Leon. As Mike says, whiter light, better spread, and much easier to drive with during these murky dark evenings.
I've had the Vision Plus bulbs in dipped and main for about a year now and they're very good. Side lights and idicators are the blue ones from the dealer.
My set arrived today so they might go on tonight if it's not too bloody cold out there :)
Went for main/dipped beams only as an experiment :)
Planning to get them for the main beams. has anyone installed the side light with the blue vision replacements? I heard they're a bitch to get out!?
Switched the yellow indicators to bluish hella replacements, but have since swapped them for the philips silver vision bulbs.
One of the guys on Scoobynet said the sidelight bulbs really do make a difference with visibility - it's not just aesthetic.
I can't get near the side or main bulbs on the Morettes, so just did the dipped. Off to the Scooby dealer on Thursday, who're going to show me the tricks of the trade (for free). I think it may involve taking out the units - quick if you know how, and at present I don't.

I was flipping through the owners manual at lunch (one of these day's you'll eventually be so bored at lunch you'll read anything;) )
and couldn't find what bulbs the toledo uses??? Does anyone know?
I know the following:
dipped = H7 (not for me though)
main = H1
sidelight = W5W
indicator = PY21W
OGFGOD lights = H3 = Only Good For Glaring Oncoming Drivers
What about the city light & the rears??

Well, wouldnt you know it.. my left main beam gave up the ghost last night..,
Would like to purchase a set of these now. Can they be bought on line or is it a trip down to Halfords for me?

sorry - idiot mode was switched on. I have just seen the link on Mike's original post. £11 quid eac for the Seat. Ordered now.
Halfords don't sell them Sean; well that's what they told me. Only used Powerbulbs once, but would do it again without hesitation.
Just back from the dealers (SG Petch Richmond) who showed me how to remove the Morettes (1 minute job), and fitted the main beam and sidelight bulbs for me. Even though conditions were wet and muddy on the way back through the lanes of North Yorks, the bulbs made a huge difference. I've now got lighting to suit the car.
Still think the Morettes have terrible build quality...:(

Glad to hear your impressed with the bulbs Mike. Got mine ordered from the site yesterday. How long did yours take for delivery by the way? Hoping to get them today or Sat am as it is pretty off-putting driving with only the one light on main beam.
:cheers:
48 hrs Sean - arrived safe and sound. Have fun with them! :)

Cheers Mike.
Got me bulbs this morn and just want to check that they are indeed the right ones for the Beeza. Does anyone have the specs for the main beams? Powerbulbs state that once the packaging is open they cannot change them. (Car is at dealer today so cant check myself) Anyone got a handbook close by?
This is what was delivered:
Philips H4 - W5W Blue Vision
H4 12342BV
12V 60/55W P43t

Does any of this mean anything to anyone here?!

You're very welcome Sean. Have a great Xmas and good luck!:)
