you can drive legally on just side lights in the uk providing that there are street lights, and i don't have a problem with fog lights being used myself i quite often have mine on so i can that little bit extra.

its also a good point about the side+fog combo for foggy weather, does make it easier

DT do a light pod...not that I've even thought about it once....

Xenon users can uprate full beam bulb. The xenon light is good, but easily outdriven on familiar roads :(

By that I mean A's normally where in the day you can see a long way, night your lights just fade into the straight.

Honda's new tech looks interesting to say the least with a night camera in the front to present the road ahead on a display...very funky I think.

Very much agree.

Just like to say. Ordered my bulbs wednesday from Powerbulbs, got them thursday. Just need to fit them now.

Let me know how you go about it - I have xenons and bought bulbs to uprate the main beams but chickened out when I saw the space available for the job

Are the lights fitted to the Octy really so bad? I've been really impressed with them so far and I've just got the standard set-up as supplied with the car... :confused:

Perhaps all you guys need to do is slow down a bit at night on the twisty stuff and you will find they work just fine!!!

Posted this before; if you enter the following voucher code in "XVQAV170" at powerbulbs website, you should get 10% off....

I got some for the wife's Touran. Why fit illegal 100w bulbs, when you can fit +50% ones ?

And for those with xenons, you get a "free" pair of "blue" sidelights. "normal" sidelights look pretty yellow next to a xenon dipped beam - these look a lot whiter.

Think you could be a little :confused: The powerbulbs +50% ones, vision plus, are for the dipped beam, the "illegal" ones are the philips rallye bulbs and are for the main beam (H4 against H7 I think)

And thanks for the code - I used it recently.

my bulbs are brighter than +50% seeing as 50W + 50% = 75W and mine are 90W and 100W on full blast so a full 100% brighter than stabdard.

or you could always do a little bit of re-wiring and fit 130/100's think this will come in the future

what fitment should I be ordering for my Octy? H4 or H7, are they the size?

Recent Octy is H7, older one H4

its not so much just size as general shape/size/pin location and i think one has seperate bulbs and the other is twin filament

Beleive I have to remove each headlight to fit the bulbs. Should be good fun

And I thought the standard bulbs were tricky. Did them in the rain a couple of days ago and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was, despite the lack of space to see what you're doing Very glad I did it now though

I chickened out of replacing the main beams myself, and got my dealer to do it. He took the bumper off to remove the headlights. I believe Ross prefers removing the battery and the fuel filter to gain access.

Either way, those bulbs better not blow in a hurry!.
