xenon bulb melted my holder, which one should i get??

[jakm15]

hi, I have a mk2 ph1 1.2 and I put some xenon bulbs in the headlights and one of them melted the bulb holder and when it was raining and you were in traffic the headlights steamed, the holder could have been faulty Renault electrics. The bulbs were double the wattage of the originals.

So I’m looking for some more as I really don’t like the yellow tint the originals give out. I’ve seen these and say they are safe etc

can someone please recommend some bulbs or say these are ok.

Also it says you get the sidelight bulbs free and it says they fit interior light, number plate light etc. will this give me a nice white interior light instead of the yellow??

Thanks

That may explain why :nono:

Just get HID's if you've got projectors
