Simonl Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Do you find the full beam makes any difference Steve? Petsy thinks it's minimal, would be good to hear a 2nd opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMB Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 let's say for £15 quid i'd change them, and i have no issues seeing at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simonl Posted February 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Was thinking about the small Osram Xenon Cool blue side lights too. Puntos have them, when you next have one in your rear view, watch... they are really convincing as a xenon subsitute. A little blue flicker when you go over a bump, but otherwise pure white!

SMB Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 i had these in my other car, and they are a whiter light than the std sidelight, just more of a fiddle to fit i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy_Driver Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 For what its worth, I just bought the H7's and HB3 for for my Volvo and they are great - only on a day and I am getting flashed all the time so that must be good;-) Got teh Philips Blue Vision from www.powerbulbs.co.uk Wife's GTI is due soon and it has the Xenon's so I could not be outdone by her...;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
