What a difference!

[TC1474]

I have had my car nearly 8 years. I brought it new and it has been brilliant and I still enjoy driving it despite the 100,000 mile mark fast approaching and it has been super reliable so far (says I looking for some wood to touch)

When I ordered my car, I had the option of specifying HiD lights, but it was quite an expensive option and to be honest modern headlights tend to be pretty good these days don't they? Well not in my case. Full beam is fine but from day one the dip bean has been awfull,

I have been meaning to upgrade the bulbs for some time, and tonight at long last I managed to get around to doing just that.

WoW, what a difference. The packaging states that the bulbs, although the same wattage, are 100% brighter than standard,

I would say that they are more than that, in comparison it is like driving in daylight.

I feel such a prat for having left it so long, and it is not as if it is even an expensive modification, just a fiddly pain in the arse as everything is so cramped to gain access to the back of the headlight unit, especially on the passenger side.

Anyway, all done now, big smile on my face and I can start to enjoy night time driving again which I tend to have to do quite a bit of with work.

Happy days

Glad the bulbs helped. What did you go for?

I had a similar thing with my first car, standard bulbs were dreadful. After putting in some Osram Nightbreakers it was totally transformed. So much so my Mum and Dad had me order and fit for their cars also.

I also run a night breaker plus in the bike, much better than the crap it had in it. [emoji106]

What did you put in TC?

I used to stick the Halfords ultra brilliance bulbs in because I got them cheap. The current car is HiD which are superb on full beam but not exactly phenomenal on dipped.
