headlight bulbs?

[DaN-GT]

which headlight n side light shud i buy i want that white look but i dnt no anythin about like H4 n H7 n HID all tht lol wots the best to buy?

[JonnyW]

HID is pretty expensive, you've got to buy a kit and fit it all.. It's not just the bulbs.

H4/7 are just the fitments of your bulbs..

If you go on this site, it'll tell you what bulbs are what.

n00b question again..

Dipped and main on our C2's.. Just standard headlights, is it one bulb for both?

I'm buying new bulbs just need to know if I need 1 pair or two.

Cheers 8)

[Cooper]

halfords at the moment have a buy one get one free on bulbs, I got a set of xenon bulbs for £18 for two.

Cool, i'll check there before I buy from the internet then.

Did you fit yours yet?

[Cooper]

yeah fitted them that day, a bulb blew on my way into work so I pop'd into halfords during the day and put them in before I finished work. think they where H4 475's I think

Okay, cheers.

Is it just one H4 bulb for both dipped and main beam?

Mine havn't gone or anything.. I just want something abit brighter lol.

[Cooper]

Yeah they are double filament bulbs mate. The C2's standard bulbs are very poor, It made a big a difference with the xenon ones.

[Bean1.1]

So which bulbs are the beter ones to give it that white look? the xenon white? or are the any other types

[Cooper]

well the xenon are very white and are the whitest I've ever had.

[JonnyW]

Thanks mate!

I'll probably get these ones..

Their quite cheap!

I just got the Phillips ones from that link I posted, £23 delivered. But over £15 and you get free Xenon Sidelight bulb things worth £7 so thats cool.

[Cooper]

Sounds good mate, they would say they weren't road legal. there dead easy to fit, just take the rubbery black cover off pull the white connector of the back of the bulb then unclip and pull it out. the nearside ones a bit of a pain, just cause there is less room to get your hand in there.

Okay cool, cheers.

I'll hopefully have them tomorrow and fit them Saturday.

I'm prepared for it being difficult lol.

[Cooper]

its a 5 min job mate, just try not to touch the glass of the bulb.

I'll let you know how I get on 8)

Can't wait to get them now.

That's how to fit the H4's isnt it.. Are the Sidelights harder though because them bulbs look tiny :(

[Cooper]

Yeah it is mate. You'll see a huge difference when there in. haven't changed the sidelights yet, but I think you just pull it out from the headlight housing then I think you just pull it out of the connector and pop the new one in.

:D

I'll take some pictures whilst doing mine incase anyone else has any problems. Cheers 8)

[Bean1.1]

ive just put some in mine 2day 5 min job seen the effects tonight made a big difference!!

[Cooper]

sounds like a good idea about taking pics, always comes in handy.

[islandofshame]

i'm currently using Osram Cool Blue H4 headlight bulbs and matching sidelights, quite happy with them! Nice clean light off them, would really like some HID's to tell you the truth though! :(

[JonnyW]

I've just fitted mine here at work in my lunch break..

Bloody easy! lol.

I thought it would be very difficult, but it's simple. I've taken pictures of the way I did it so i'll put them on tonight.

Can't wait for it to get dark now, hopefully they'll look abit better 8)

[Cooper]

good to see you found it easy mate. did you like the improvements?

[JonnyW]

good to see you found it easy mate. did you like the improvements?

Yeah, their really good.

I'll probably just keep them until I change the car now. I was thinking about HID's but i'm getting a Mini CooperS in a couple of years so will just have them on that.

[Bean1.1]

so what are your sidelights like then with those bulbs in? i changed mine but are either looking at the LED bulbs or the ones you bought? what does anybody think to buy?

[JonnyW]

The actual bulb when it's not lit is blue, but when i've got them turned on it's like a white light.

[Bean1.1]

okok rite well im tempted just to buy the blue LED ones and see how long i can keep them on untill i get pulled for them

[c2stew]

i never get pulled for them and i drive around like the way my car is in my sig :P nah never, i have only been pulled over for the blue side lights once, and that was because i was already pulled over ! :D plus theyre illegal so dont drive with them now, just the halo rings when i feel a bit sporty every so often :P even tho my car does 0-60 in a year and a half :)

[Bean1.1]

haha im sure its faster than that, so u have the blue LED side lights then C2stew?

[Cooper]

was thinking of getting LED sidelights, do you get any warnings flash up with them or any other problems due to them needing less power to work? and jonnyW why do you want a cooper S, there alot of money for what they are. they look ok i suppose. But I suppose I have a soft spot for the classic (real) mini and you can't really call a car thats as big as it is a mini.

Not sure, really.

I love them.. Their really quite quick, especially with a few choice modifications. And I love the way they look. Not the newest one, the MK1 New Mini 8)

[Cooper]

fair one, they are supposed to be a good car. but with BMW parts prices.

[JonnyW]

Yeah.. It'll be in 2 years time so maybe prices might come down abit.. And hopefully insurance won't be too much.

[onephat]

Which of these two do you think would produce the best results. By best results i mean whitest/brightest results.
