Headlight bulb upgrade
 
I'm looking to upgrade my headlight bulbs, but not looking for higher wattage/illegal bulbs and extra wiring, I just want a straight swap.

I'm looking at Osram Nightbreakers? Are these worth it? Any other suggestions?

Ta!

Yeah they are good bulbs - have them in my Mondeo and scoob :ok:

You could also replace your bug lights with some pristine morette headlight - would only need a spray up to black for one :ok: (Yes a very cheap plug there!)

Had an email from Europe Car Parts yesterday saying they were half price, still £17 a pair though, not sure if you can pick them up cheaper elsewhere.

Went for the Osrams recently, very good bulb! Picked them up on Amazon for about £12 in the end.

Ultimate upgrade for a Bugeye is a Set of JDM HIDS - failing that try to get a set of STI lights as the projectors are so much better than the WRX units as they use separate Dip and High bulbs compared to the H4's on the WRX.

Thanks for the replies! Sounds good, I'll get a set, they're a decent price on amazon. :ok:

Can't say I'm a fan of morrettes, but a set of STI units might have to happen in the future!

Halfords Brilliance. Same thing but those in the know rate them for value as well as output

The Prodrive ones are the best

^That...with HID kit.

Agree with Nick,HID kit is a bit more expensive, but once fitted the difference is amazing. Had them fitted about 10yrs ago,still working fine.

Just don't fit a H4 HID kit to the WRX lights!!

STI lights with HID dip beam re-wired to stay on with high is a good option but the OE JDM will be better as the projectors are correctly designed.

I run the JDM HIDs with the indicators and the sidelights swapped over (LED sidelights) to give a better look to the lights (almost like DRLs).

Fitted a set of nightbreakers and will see how they compare tonight :ok:
