Oh dear ..... one born every day

I bought 2 packs of the Lidl bulbs last year when they were on offer, great bulbs, great price, still got a pack left unopened so they are long lasting as well as bright

 

[colin79666]

Yeah they got me hook line and sinker. Are good bulbs though - very bright with a blue tint so a good white light on the road. Will get a pack of these lidl bulbs as spares though.

 

[Tris Harris]

think i'll buy a spare set just incase

I would... better than giving Halfrauds your hard earned

I rate them (( you seem to either get a good set which lasts forever or a bad set that die quickly))

i have them in mine and they are great think Tris rates his ((dont you tris?))


((the blue ones)) the +50% are crap

 

[nickkk]

i used to have these, swapped them for nightbreakers and really couldnt tell the difference!

yeah i think they're brilliant, next best bulbs to HID's in my opinion

 

[Aresby]

But I find it very fiddly, awkward and frankly difficult to change the headlight bulbs. How come you guys don't seem to give it a second thought?

I can't even get my hand round the back of the offside headlamp as the A/C unit is in the way.

Do tell!

the 8v petrol engines have loads of room

its worth it anyway i think.

:yeahthat:.....

 

[burtz]

so are the blue ones drighter thn the 50%+ ones?

i might get some as mine are CR^P

 

[colin79666]

got the blue ones today as a spare set

also got some leather cleaning wipes at a bargain price - ideal for cleaning the steering wheel and gear stick as it apparently also protects the leather (might save the drying out and bubbling issues).

TK MAXX sells car bulbs H1 > H7 for about £3. Have'nt tried them though and they were'nt a brand I recognised.

they give a crisper light (i got both last time and tried them and came to my own conclusion the blue are better)

 

[stutheo]

put these on my gp yesterday, was amazed how good they are for the price, proper bargain!

Do you find one H4 bulb and have to go hunting around the shop for the matching one though? Lol

i thought id give these a go cos everyones banging on about them.

and imo wish i never bought them, glad i only bought the one set i swapped them 1 at a time and noticed no difference at all compared to the old standard bulbs

i bought the 'blue' ones, look yellow to me.
