Changing Headlight bulbs

  Top of Page

hihi.

I've decided that I need brighter headlight bulbs, but I know nothing about what brand is the best or what power/type of bulb I need.

Any recommendations?? <3

H4 HIDs are horrible... everyone flashes you because the light shines in their eyes...

get a projector/HID combo off Import monster... there are some really nice looking sets out there that you should be able to get here for like $400

Thanks for the feedback guys. big_smile
Just some questions:
Are HID's legal? or would I have to replace the whole unit? (In NSW)

Would just getting a brighter halogen do the trick?

HIDs are technically only legal if they are adjustable (height wise) in-cabin.
The Aus gen2 headlights are useless - a set of projectors would be a good start. Upgrading to a HID kit in projectors are much better though.

The AUDM lights are pretty bad. You can cheap out like me and get Phillips Crystal Vision bulbs that do the job a lot better.

Yeah i got the Phillips 4000K blue tinge for mine, just a hell of alot brighter and whiter (when you drive you'll see a slight blue tinge but onlookers will see pure white) Did the trick very nicely. Way better than standard. though HID conversion would be nice sometime in the future.

H.I.D. in h4 form in the aussie spec headlights are perfectly fine if your smart enough to adjust your headlights so that they arent shinning in peoples eyes.
i have H.I.Ds. in my gen2 and never been flashed once and im out cruising every thursday friday and saturday night pretty much. plus every1 is getting projectors and personally they look shit but each to thier own

depends on your lights set up if you have a H7 globe or H4. ive got the HID's H7 6000K Xenon GT's in my B4 , i got them for $250 for a full kit ... easy to install and brilliant light projectory. just make sure to lower your headlights just a couple of clicks so they don't hit the peoples mirrors infront. i'll never go back to normal bulbs again after driving with these babies lol.
