Given up on the old Cibie Oscar Pluses - Really good light, but the crap design of the H2 bulb means that they blow way too often for my liking. Only paid £100 for them, so I ain't complaining.

So, I'll be upgrading to PIAAs. I know Scoobyworld sell them, but is there anywhere else?? Graham Goode used to, but not anymore.

Cheers

Cheers for the offer Kirby , but after the stress the second hand Oscars gave me, I'm leaning towards caution and the safety of a sellers/manufacturers warranty. Daft, I know...

Wouldn't bother if I was you: pigs to set up, and when done, you'll lose the settings every time you need to change a bulb, AND they vibrate at speed

Cheers for that, alc. I vaguely remember similar things being said about hellas.

So, any other sources for PIAAs other than Scoobyworld?

I have a set of PIAA 120W on each Wagon. Both sets came from David Reid at DR Motorsport. Good guy, helpful and reliable service. Fantastic lights, only blown one bulb in a total of five years between the two sets. One set is a pencil beam spot and the other is wider and called "driving" lights. Each have their pros and cons. You do not need to stick with PIAA bulbs when a replacement is necessary, Halfords have 130W bulbs that seem to be just as good at half the price.
Only niggle is that setting up the lights is not very easy. I do one light at a time with the fastening nut only semi tight. When I have them set I then remove each one, three set screws, tighten the locknut fully and refit.
If anybody dazzles you and ignores a polite warning you can burn their eyeballs out of the sockets. Night becomes day.
My lights are on a switch so I can choose to use them when I want but they should only be operational with full beam.

Cheers Harvey. I wired the Cibies in the same way, using the redundant front fog switch as a sort of master on/off. Worked well.

Had a look at David Reid's site - £30 cheaper than Scoobyworld

Try your Subaru dealer, they've been selling a bespoke PIAA driving lamp kit for nearly 10 years. The kit comes complete with everything you need including detailed fitting instructions.

You may need a 2nd mortgage though

David Reid has run out of stock, so I've ordered a pair from Scoobyworld.

Incidentally, Scoobyworld have dropped their prices since this thread was started. They're down from £275 + p&p to £240 + p&p
