Passenger dipped bulb went on me this evening so looking into replacing the dipped bulbs. Not sure what's bulbs are in it at the moment, they've been in it since I bought the car. What's everyone's preference for halogen bulbs? Also, how easy is it to replace the bulbs on the 250? Access by taking the wheel and arch liner off?
I used osram night breakers last year during the winter and they were superb, think I might swap back to them this winter I read a thread last week about headligh bulbs which looked good but for the life of me I cant remember what they were called
I found a thread on here about the night breakers, and I was tempted by them, but saw someone mention that they were more cream than white
Yeah if I can remember right they are a tad creamy but imo a really good set of bulbs, the ones I have the now have a slightly green film on them only left them in because the amount of different bulds I tried I just couldn't be bothered swapping them again haha
Go to Auto Express online and they test all the bulbs regularly and post results. Phillips usually top out with Osrams next. I just bought 2 pairs of Osrams H7's Night Breaker Extreme off Amazon with damaged packaging [box cracked] for £9.99 a pair. There are some new Phillips XtremeVision +130% just out too. which were recommended. Cheers Andy
Went for the Osram night breakers in the end since my local euro car parts had them in stock, I'll see how I get on with them. Managed to get them fitted, though it did take me a minute or two to figure out what "bar" had to be pulled up Thanks for the suggestions
I had the Phillips blue vision ones in my 200, proper crisp white light. That's what I'll be replacing mine with when the time comes.
