Xenon Headlamp Bulbs Upgrade - SV650.org

Anyone used these? My headlight bulb has gone and I was thinking of replacing with something with a little better visibility.

Any opinions?

Too right. I think they're worth every penny.

Thirded, noticeable difference and well worth the £7.50 for each bulb!

Don't bother going for any of 'blue' or 'xenon' effect bulbs as they are probably worse than standard however as mentioned the Halfords Ultra Brilliance bulbs are quite good, I've used them on my car and I did notice a slight improvement.

Aparently the Philips Ultra bright ones are even better but I think they are like 15 quid a pop.

Again don't bother with the 'blue' or 'xenon' effect ones.
