Re: Headlight Bulbs

Its slightly going towards the nightbreakers because they are brighter! But the philips ones are meant to be just as good. I hate these kind of decisions haha

Re: Headlight Bulbs

Blue headlights only making seeing in the dark harder as the human eye does not register blue as an "illumination".

For example, in my old laguna I put a "super bright blue" LED as my curtesy light. Now even though these LED's shine brighter than the conventional bulb, the cabin did not feel as illuminated as it did with the normal bulb
