Thats what we've gotta guess......we're clearly mind readers.

Sorry forgot about saying what type headlights thats what i needed to no will hids fail an mot?
RE: lights - Toms306 - 19-08-2012
HIDs are crap. Too damn bright, fed up of being blinded by other peoples.
Also, being a phase 2 you will have the frosted headlights yes? Get rid of them for some crystals, then get some ice white normal bulbs....
RE: lights - WiNgNuTz - 19-08-2012
Im with Tom on this one. I'd recommend Osram Nightbreakers, as ive got them in my headlights, and noticed a fair improvement from standard bulbs, especially on high beam. They're a little bit whiter than your average bulb, not by much, but i cant really fault them.
RE: lights - bighead02 - 19-08-2012
Ive got a phase 3 so no probs with the glass so you reckon osram night breakers then?
RE: lights - Toms306 - 19-08-2012
My bad, read phase 2 for some reason lol. But yeah, I never had a problem with decent bulbs in crystals.

if you eat carrots you should be able to see in the dark
RE: lights - Glen306 - 20-08-2012
hid will fail an mot if the headlight has a plastic cover and if there is no spray directly onto the lens to cool it down

Slightly wrong there. Plastic covers are fine. They need to be self levelling though. And the spray is not to cool them. The headlines require washers to try and prevent light scatter from dirt.

Nightbreakers do me just fine even round the really dark country roads we have round here.. better to play it safe!
RE: lights - bighead02 - 23-08-2012
Well thats what im thinking play it safe i think ill have to go with them bcoz as much as i like the hids i also wanna pass my mot lol cheers for all the comments osrams it is
RE: lights - Niall - 23-08-2012
I really rate Philips blue vision. There bloody expensive (£30 for 2) but there miles better than night breakers and have a years warranty.
RE: lights - bighead02 - 25-08-2012
O ryt nice will have to have a look for them and i dont mind how much they cost as long as they work if you get me
RE: lights - Niall - 25-08-2012
Yeah really good. Will be buying my self some now the winter nights are coming.
