New Headlight Bulb Recommendations..
« on: 26 January 2015, 03:20:06 pm »
I'm planning to do the headlight mod on my 1998 boxeye, so figured I may as well replace the headlight bulbs while I'm at it. So looking for any recommendations as to what to go for…or what to avoid.!


Cheers..

If you're just upgrading the bulbs, then Osram Nightbreakers are a popular brand on here, along with Philips Extreme Vision.


They're better, but still not brilliant, it's the reflectors that are shite.

The headlight mod is an absolute must on the boxeye in my opinion.
Also I removed the shield in the left hand light, they often become loose and rattle anoyingly anyway.
 
You may have already found it but, here is a link to the mod that most people seem to do, and I have aswell

Yep, I'm there with Darrsi on the bulbs, the Phillips are very popular on here, but I did have a premature failure with one, so personally I am more biased towards the Osrams, from my experiance they seem equal in performance.
