joshwalker094 · 05-01-13, 10:21 PM

hey guys, after getting caught out in the dark in the yorkshire dales, my standard bulbs really arent bright enough.
im wondering what bulbs i can just swap over that will be so much brighter.
i dont have the funds to do a hid swap or anything, just want a simple swap and play
thanks
josh

What have you got in there currently? Osram Night Breakers are a very good bulb IMO, on Ebay about £12 for a pair of H4's

i need something so much brighter

I've got Philips X-Treme power +100% bulbs in mine. Waaaay brighter than standard.

Just go to your local car spares shop not Halfrauds and just buy 100/90w H4's £5 at most work fine and no need for wiring upgrade just fit as standard. I have had them in my v-strom for years now.

This is what you need: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H4-HALOGEN...item4ab674d9f2

As said above osram night breakers are pretty good, have been using them in my curvy for a few years now. Also the Philips extreme 100% ae good as well, I use them in the car and the van. Both are a vast improvement over standard bulbs

Wouldn't they melt the light unit? Or damage the wiring at all?
Also would the osram night breakers be better? Or are these 100/90W due to the higher Watt

I've ran HIDs for a while now and have decided to get rid, the scatter is awful and it's unfair to blind drivers all the time.

Just bought some osram h4 night breakers so will let you know how good/bad they are in comparison.
