headlight bulb upgrade

[ScottyDog]

Anyone got any ideas about how bright i can change my headlight bulbs to? I'm fed up with my lights looking really dull, orangey, and not very bright, but want something as bright as i can legally go, with a bright white light. Any ideas?

Easy answer. Hids

Im not a fan of HID's on cars that shouldn't have them, the beam is never right and you blind every other driver on the road. I would recommend Osram Nightbreakers.... I have them and think they great, much brighter and give a nice clean white look. As it says on the box 90% brighter 10% whiter.

I bought a set of ICE WHITE bulbs off of that well known auction-site and love 'em

 

[griff82]

what bulbs fit in the gti, i had some ice white h4's from a pug that i had but they dont fit do they.
they seem to be the only ones i can find

H1 for main beam and high beam... think fog lights are H3

 

[Brummy]

oo fogs, didnt think of doing them (but I never use them anyway )

 

[Dave_R]

I never use mine but I like all the lights mmatching.... still working onthe side lights tho lol

 

[ScottyDog]

OK, I'm thinking about osram nightbreakers, but what about the sidelight bulbs, or should i just leave them?

I have to say I think my beam is right as I have no problems with other drivers or that.

Im just getting my own back on all the people in there Range Rovers/X5's etc.

I recently uprated my Leon Cupra TDI with Osram Nightbreakers. They do make a difference. The other thing you can get is the Halfords Extreme Brilliance bulbs. About the same price as the Osram Nightbreakers, but not quite as bright, almost though.

Hopefully I be one of them people in a X5 soon.... need something to tow with

save ya cash and go older after using nigh on 20 different pullers i found the best tow vehicle i've ever driven was a Daihatsu Fourtrak (independent suspension model)

last one i had was a van model with roof rack, got my tools tyres the lot in with it too and still dragged itself across the wet fields at the end of the races

 

[Dave_R]

well I want something classy as well as to tow the ibiza and trailer, wanting dvd headrests, screen on the dash if possile but either a range rover or a x5 will need to have 20" rims lol.

But then why have a 4x4 and when it comes to mud or snow it's useless??

Gone competely off topic lol

now then dave. ive just ordered a set of nightbreakers for the ibiza, should be on the road soon. ive had afew bits shot blasted for the brakes, hubs and carriers and got to say that interior has come up even better with some autoglym leather cleaner and cream. if you getting a rangerover or x5, you got to get atleast 22`s. you saw what mine looked like on the touareg! you still got that gear knob?

 

[Dave_R]

Glad it looks even better! And they more supportive than the mk3 cupra seats lol.

Yea still got the gear knob.... can't believe we forgot it. PM me your address and I sort it when I have 5mins and send me a pic of what trim u wanted.

Or could do a deal; the gear knob for ur touareg... love one but the prices aren't as low as the X5's yet.

 

[ather`s]

as long as your ibiza is attached to the gear knob then yeah we can do a swap!!!! lol. will txt you my address, let me know how much postage is and will sort you out. cheers.

[CraigW]

No, the 1.4 is H4 fitment.
