Decent bright headlight bulbs for my ph-quick

[Russ_16v]

where can i get some of these from guys? mine are terrible!

i think they are hb4's i think?

cheers

 

[davebem]

HB3 for the dipped, H7 for the main beam. Id also like to know whats best.

 

[nockmeister]

I bought these HB3's as they were the most powerful at the time, 'nice' improvement on OE. I now see that they do a 50% increase on OE, so these 'should' be very good...
Can't remember what i changed the H7's too...these look mental, and maybe to powerful for plastic lens covers!!

Nice review of latest bulbs on offer

 

[Russ_16v]

cheers guys

what has people fitted? has anyone else found the ph-1 lights to be shite or is it just me? lol

 

[BoomOne]

can h3 bulbs replace hb3 bulbs or are they totally diff alltogether?
Im having problems finding hb3 ones

You've got projectors so you could fit HIDs if you wanted to.

I'd get 4300k myself. Fitted a few of those kits and the quality isn't bad at all really.

 

[The Big Yin]

bmh.01 those be ok on a 2002 clio dci ? Could you go any higher than 4300 or is there a reason for that specific bulb you recommend?

 

[rich19]

are they different to the normal kits as they are alot cheaper than other kits i`ve seen

the reason he said that temperature is the colour is at its whitest which means vision will be improved best, the higher the temp the fancier the colour but the vision isnt as good

Nope as you haven't got projectors on the normal halogen lights and you'll be blind everyone coming the other way.

Yeh they are cheaper than others i've used, but the kit looks exactly the same in the pics so i'm assuming it is.

And yep thats why I recommend 4300k, anything else is too blue to be any better than halogens imo.

 

[rich19]

how easy do you find them to fit BMH, i was going to buy a kit off one of the lads on here but if these do a simiila job and i can get some one to fit it

 

[Russ_16v]

Is that kit one of the legal ones?

None of them are "legal" due to a lack of washers and auto levelling, but those will be fine.

Yep

Plug and play no bother, i'm not too far away if you wanted them fitting let me know.

 

[Russ_16v]

Cheers mate might have to give that a try me thinks! mine areso bad i often check to make sure i havent left just sidelights on :s

 

[TheKing]

can you fit them on the mk2ph1 clio's with dual optics?

 

[ben_p]

always go for 6000k on HIDs

thats the same colour as OEM cars with xneons,

never ever get 8000k

Saw 8000k at the weekend and was very noticeable.

 

[ben_p]

^ almost purple!

 

[JAMIE_GEE]

If your wanting just bulbs i would recommend Phillips x-treme power. I have these and the are really bright compared to the standard bulbs which were in my ignis. They claim to be 80% brighter than standard bulbs. Pure white beam comes off of these bulbs. Also Osram have brought out nightbreaker bulbs that the claim to be 90% brighter than standard bulbs.

Hope this helps

 

[FiDoDiDo]

^ almost purple!

Certainly was.

I used to have the Philips Xtreme-Power ones.

Erm renault use 4300k, thats the most usable light. A few others do too, ford for one I think. 6000k is too blue for me.

 

[BoomOne]

so do h3 bulbs work inplace of hb3 bulbs?? that dude on ebay doesnt ship to South Africa

 

[White16valver]

If you don't want HID, get PIAA Extreme White Plus.

Amazingly better than standard in mine but not cheap lol

 

[David Ramsey]

Sounds obvious but as most cars are filthy this time of year have you tried wiping the headlights, it should make a massive difference.

Even then I wouldn't say the lights are particularly brilliant, especially when compared to HID.

Does anyone know anywhere that supplies yellow bulbs? I want some for dipped beam and my fog lights.

 

[Russ_16v]

boom one,you cant use normal h3s mate has to be hb3s


im ordering one of these kits but what do i go for the 4300k or 6000k?

 

[White16valver]

4300 is closer to daylight and is brighter, plus will look less "aftermarket".

 

[Russ_16v]

cheers matey

 

[BoomOne]

id go for the 6000k myself
