Bulbs for 172 cup

[iacabu]

Polishing up my headlights this weekend so will be looking at replacing all the bulbs to make sure it looks fresh. Currently got mixed indicator bulbs but I'll probably end up with Silver Visions.

What sidelights and headlight (non-xenon) bulbs does everybody recommend? I'm after a white light, not blue.

+1.

Thanks. I wasn't sure between these or the Philips. The osrams are cheaper too which is a bonus

Any recommendations for number plate bulb? Nothing ridiculously bright

Buy a new light unit and an LED bulb. Makes the world of difference for under £15.

Thanks, the lens cover on mine is very yellow and faded. What bulb type do I need to go for?

I was expecting Silvervisions to be more silver...

 

[McGherkin]

That's gotta be a ripoff.

Not as bad in this pic but they're definitely more orange than I was hoping. Paid decent money for them from Amazon

Well a bit of Googling shows this is how they are and that the promo/ad pics make them out to be much more silver.

So to conclude the thread, as it now looks like I'm talking to myself with 3 posts in a row...Silvervisions fitted front and rear, look much better imo and appear silver once fitted in the car and not in direct sunlight like the first pic.
Car already has nightbreakers by the looks of it (oops), so now I have spares.
Philips Blue vision sidelights look whiter and a much better match for the headlights.

Thumbs up all round

Freshens up the back no end. Especially at night.
