Most powerful bulb for headlights
Hi.
One of the headlight bulbs on my MY99 has just died, so I'm looking for replacement ones.
What are the most powerful/best lighting bulbs I can get? Looking for the best light possible on the standard headlights/wiring.
Been browsing through the PIAA website and their bulbs do look good (although a bit pricey).
Cheers,
Paulo

There was an extensive thread on just this question about 4 weeks ago. Try a search.
Personally I use GE Megalights 60% uprated bulbs in my Morette outers (H4), with standard 55W H2 bulbs in the inners, and a pair of Scoobysport's Hella 1000ff HID units for driving lights. Can't beat it.

Ken: in lighting, you generally get what you pay for mate (Except for PIAA bulbs, where you pay for the marketing )
