cant comment on the osram's, ive never used em.


dont forget that a bulb is only as good as your reflecters.

dont know if it makes a differance but have you a pointy or curvey?

& you say £20 each + 1 free .............so as you need 2 it is £20 to change them?

I made it! Not the most fun I ever had, and I think i got gatso'd although no-body is sure. Plenty of speed camras on teh run from kingston to palmers green, i think i came across one every 5 mins or so

Still, good job i went last night! This morning we all woke up to a world covered in snow

Looking warmer for the return ride on sunday, when I should have my nice new shiny helmet which hopefulyl wont mist up

i have neither a pointy or a curvy, i have what is known as a "fast" one.

your mathematics are indeed correct.

20 times 1 is 20.

if you had 2 bikes, each requiring 2 bulbs, you would need 4 bulbs.
20 times 2 is 40.

i went and bought some today and they're now £15 for two. i'll let you know how it goes

The results have been achieved in the same way as the 30 and 50 per cent lamps-by taking the allowed tolerances right to the edge. This time though as well as reducing the filament and burning it hotter, Philips has shrunk the glass casing.

As a result, the gas pressure can be increased for better light output.Engineers have also optimised the geometry and shield position to focus the light where it is needed.

£25 out of stock from powerbulbs as above.
What bulbs do curvey's use - I've always wanted to know, not having one.

Quite happy with my Silverstars
