Default Bulbs......Talk to me!!!

Did place this in Lighting. But after all the views, no reply.

Looking at getting a new complete set of bulbs for the front on my car.

I've currently got the following.

GE (Halfrauds) 90% better driving lights
OE/unknown Main Beam
Phillips Bluevision side lights
Silvertec indicators.

I did buy a set of HID's about 3 years ago and haven't fitted them. Also some of the aftermarket HID's round my area have put me off in more ways than one so won't be fitting after market HIDs.
So will stick to a normal bulbs but want to have the brightest yet safest bulbs on the market.

Any ideas? Anyone got any real pictures? Before and after showing the beam and clarity.

I fitted a set of Mtec Ice White Main beam & low beam bulbs along with the mtec sidelights

Gave the car a nice bright light without the hassle of HID's

Bought them from here

Cheers guys.

Did have a set of GT150 on my WRX. They were very good.

Not looking for super blue effect just something that works and bright.

Cheers again folks.

Three sets of HID's sat in the front of mine, after a couple of years one ballast failed and was cheaply replaced via Aztec Performance...

No "aggro" from other road users except for full beam.

SuperHIDs and you'll never look back

Unfortunately the cheap blue ebay kits are rather annoying, but if a car drove past you with 4300k SuperHIDs you wouldn't even know they were aftermarket HIDs.

You've ordered a 9004 fitment kit, are you sure you didn't mean to order a H4 fitment kit? You have a classic iirc?

Cheers,

Oh **** !!! - yes I need the H4 kit (STi 5).

Really sorry about that - that "9004 fitment kit" link was what was displayed on the page, so didn't take on board the style of bulb, when ordering! Sorry.

Can you change the order to "H4 fitment kit" to suit my car???
