What bulb is the Low beam?!
« on: 06 April 2016, 12:15:41 pm »
This is going to sound quite uninformed but hey we all have to learn, just fitted a better main beam bulb ( h4 night breaker ) got 2x in a pack but what can I replace the low beam with, what am I searching for on eBay etc? As its obviously a thinner bulb than th high beam and won't fit through the gap in the headlight unit? So the main bulb is a brilliant white and the other a piss yellow atm   :)
Thanks again?

Hi Tubz, might also be worth chcking forum for previous posts about re-wiring so both bulbs come on for low beam, I upgraded my bulbs but made little difference, the standard box eye beam pattern doesn't lend well to seeing in the dark 😮 imo.

It's the reflective part of the headlight unit that is the problem, in a word it is shite.

pretty much this, the reflectors are shockingly shite, even with a hid bulb its pathetic.
