Having read all the reviews about these bulbs.I ordered some last week in H4 fittment
until today I was using 80/100 "Elta" bulbs. My new bulbs arrived today. I have fitted them and tried them on a normal route that I would use at this time of night. Yes I am impressed.It is a "whiter" type of light.Considering that they are 60/55 . "Phillips" claim of up to 50% seems spot on.

The company that sells them are "Regal Auto Bulbs Ltd" on 01233860638 . £20.50 for a pair posted (H4). They do most fittings.

Question

Are there any problems with fitting higher wattage/power bulbs - such as heat and higher current?

Reflector type and cable. Would suggest use of relay kit to get more power to bulb.

I have gone down to 55/60 's from80/100's remember and the light is better for driving.

Be lucky

I bought a set of these from Revolution, they came with headlight & matching sidelight bulbs for £24.99.

Fitted them and they're good, sidelights don't seem to be as bright as the headlights.
must be something to do with the lenses.

I have also just bought a set of these -- £16.50 from Fosmo Lamps (headlights only). I think they're amazing, but that could just be because I cleaned the headlamps at the same time as fitting them.
