Halford headlight bulbs offer - SV650.org

09-02-06, 07:35 PM

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.

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.

No worries. H4 is what you need, and powerbulbs, or startled rabbit do them, as well as Demon Tweeks

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!!!
