Halford headlight bulbs offer
 
I decided to fit the new Osram extra bright bulb I bought at the show. The bad new was I'd been given the wrong one, more bad news the old bulb didn't work on replacing it due to a broken filament. Good new Halfords are seling their 50% brighter bulbs on buy one get one free offer i.e. £12.99 for 2.

Do they really make that much difference, i know they do according to the advertising, but then if you believed everything these company's told you you'd buy every product that came out. :wink:

The Halfords ones aint that good. The best out of the 50% brigher lot, are Osram Silverstars. They Are £13 for a pair

If you have the std bulbs that come with the bike, still in, then yes they do make a difference.

Looks like someone has uprated the bulbs. These if not of a decent brand will yellow the plastic light lens, and also could potentialy fry your head light wiring. :?

Hence I took them out hehe.

Now have bright white bulbs H4 '50% Brighter' which are in no way brighter than normal!!!
