[moggytom]

got a pair of brand new headlights off eBay for when I change my bumper. there slight diffrent style but got them for 25 quid got a set of h7 8k hid kit, what bulbs are best for my side lights. I realli want white but Smd ones keep blowing and are now blowing fuses. is there any other kind I can use. also what are silvertech indecator bulbs ? are they clear ? and we're would I get some.
what bulbs are used in fog light as I want to get some white ones for these and for the high beam to match my hid kit

finally can I polish scratches out of headlamps ? they may be new but theres a bit of storage damage


thanks a lot Tom

Silvatech bulbs i believe are even avaliable at Halfrauds, although eBay will be cheaper. I'm going to get some soon! Can't really help with the others, sorry!

Scratches.

If there not too deep then any paint cutting / polishing compound will bring them up.
If they are deep then you best bet would be to purchase a headlight restore kit from ebay which comes with wet and dry paper, compound and a drill mop attachment.

Ive not got one myself but did look a few months back as my dad got an advisor on his mot as one of his Puma headlights had started to mist over.

Range from 15-30 quid.

yes i do but sidelights are on when dipped beam is on aswell? thats how my polo was which is what i ran them in, have a set to go into the biza just havnt got round to fitting them yet

Yeah they do, but the way you said it above makes it sound like you only use sidelights. Plus, when the dipped beam is on, that should be brighter than the sidelights.
