Headlight Bulb Choice.

[Steve_Goral]

Hi guy,

Just looking for some decent headlight bulbs, for my dipped I've gone for the Nightbreakers, but I've seen som LED head light bulbs. Anyone used them? I was thinking of trying them in my main beam, anyone got any thoughts?

Cheers,

The Osram Nightbreaker Ultimates are great. Don't use LED's. They are only good in sidelights and number plate lights as they wont put any beam on the road. There not legal anyway as a headlight bulb.

Cool, would you stick the night breakers in the dipped and mains?

Just ordered some Cree side lights as well.

Just out of interest, are the indicators clear white bulbs or Amber?

[btmaldon]

I would stick to the Nightbreakers. I have used these on a lot of my previous cars and they are significantly better than stock bulbs. Not on the current BMW though as this has the factory Xenons.

If you have amber lenses on your indicators you will need clear bulbs. If the lenses are clear then you will need amber bulbs. However Cree do bulbs that look clear but give off an amber light which you can use on clear lenses.

Cheers for the tips, I've got Amber lenses. Just getting the stuff together to do a full led conversation.

I'll stick to the night breakers too.

Go for the Osrams or Phillips xtreme both these are excellent performers
