Light options:

[seatleon2002]

I have standard front lights on my car,
Can I change them for better ones?
I know a bit on bi xeon but not much on
the rest or options any ideas?

Don't want to break the bank

i've got some sort of philips bulbs. xtreme i think they are called. light up the road well and doesnt break the bank. if you do go down the xenon route remember they are technically illegal.

its only a matter of time before they get clamped down.(like front tints)

osram nightbreakers work for me, nice and bright, about£20 from local motor factors

 

[seatleon2002]

would these bulbs be extremely different from ordinary?
I'm in Ireland so don't know if xenon are illegial here

nightbreakers better than halfords brilliance bulbs, brighter,whiter imo. not orange like standard bulb.

get your self a set of 4300k xenons! i have these in the dims in my leon and they are savage! brillant light and they are no way blue to draw attention to the car! also they passed the nct no problem there a few weeks ago! never got anyone flashing or any probs with any cops ive met! im thinking of getting a set for the headlight beam aswell!! they can be got on ebay for a little more then philips or orsam bulbs! well worth it if you do a lot of back road driving!!

hids are the only real upgrade form oem, a set will only cost slightly more than high vision bulbs, and there really is no comparison

hids can be had for £50
