Does anyone know of decent replacement bulbs,
I tried the Super Whites, but the blew in no time. They were a lot brighter but I'm not replacing them every 2 months.
Any ideas suggestions gratefully received,
Andyp

Try Pete Croney at Sccobyspot as he is selling power whites at £20 a pair and he uses them in his car. I have not tried them yet but will when my super whites go pop.

Andy,

Apologies if you know this already but make sure the lights are off before you start the engine. The power 'spike' apparently shortens bulb life.

No problem, I'll consider it my good deed for the day. Haven't you noticed how it appears more and more cars are driving around with one headlight these days now that the manufacturers have taken to linking the headlights to the ignition? Bring back the good old days I say .

Otis.
