Question

What bulbs do I need to get to improve night driving?
Do I need to change sidelights as well??

Haven't the funds for big new PIAAs etc at the moment.

Must be road legal and not liable to melt anything!!!!

Thanks,

Lenny

Get hold of a set of Philips Vision Plus from http://www.powerbulbs.com They're only £19.50 for the H4's plus you get the 'Blue Vision' side light bulbs free when you order.They really make the light much whiter! (Easiest way to fit them is to remove the headlights from the car and do it that way just for your info!)

Cheers,

Nick..

Oh,one other point - They are the same wattage as standard bulbs so won't put any extra 'stress' on the wiring loom!

Best £20 you can spend, I reckon!
Then put your foglights on and remind yourself how yellow the OE lights are c.f. near- white light of philips.

Tried to fit them myself.....the Subaru handbook is not that helpful, what with the sidelights being mounted in the wing!

Ended up with help from the dealership.

But what a difference!
