New lights, HID alternatives.
 
Hi!

Recently purchased a Subaru WR1, I want to get some new lights for the car as I don't really like the candles it has right now. I did have HIDs on my previous Scoob however I don't really fancy HIDs this time round.

I've heard Osram Nightbreaker lights are pretty good? Any other suggestions? Also what bulb fitting would my car be? I believe the Blob STI to be H1?

Many thanks,

Loz.

You could try Osram Nightbreakers, Philips Exteme Vision, Ring 120% uprated or Halfords Ultra Brilliance when on BOGOF.

Amazon have the Ring ones: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_...dlight%20bulbs

Google is your friend for others.

PIAA are good, but far too expensive for what they are.

Thanks for the help.

Do you know what size the bulbs would be for a 2004 Blob STI? Getting mixed up with the H1 or H4.

I put the halfords super bright 120% in my blob sti the other week. Light output is very good and as they are buy one get one free they are a bargain

Ste1988 05 March 2014 06:41 PM

My 2003 blob sti was h1

I got Osram Nightbreakers for £14 a pair.

Excellent, sounds good chaps :)

What about the sidelights? I'm assuming these bulbs are for the main headlights?

Ste1988 05 March 2014 07:41 PM

Yes mate h1 are the headlamps, front side light bulbs are 501

alcazar 05 March 2014 07:46 PM

The blobs have two bulbs, one is H1, what's the other?

Confirmed again low beam is H1. I've had Philips Blue Vision, now have Osram Nightbreaker, very little in it....maybe the Philips a slightly whiter light.

Side lights I've just fitted led ones.....they are brilliant. Mega bright over the standard halogen bulb. Codes are known as 501, W5W.
High beam HB3, also in Osram.

Ste1988 05 March 2014 07:54 PM

Low beam is h1 and high beam is hb3

Ozne 05 March 2014 10:28 PM

Ok, so Low Beam H1, High beam HB3 and side lights 501?

Just had a look on Ebay, all of the above in Osram, 41 quid. Not bad!
