Headlight Bulbs

[152bobby]

Drove my daughter's 2014 Aygo last night in the dark and I was shocked at the headlight output. I did change them, but forget what I put in the car !!

I do remember when I first bought the car, I did a search on the forum for advice, I have done this again a minute ago and the Toyota Optiwhites come up.

From what I have read, the Toyota upgrade lights are basically Philips.

Can someone give me a link to the correct ones from Euro Car Parts, as there is one up the road from me and will be cheaper than Toyota (I expect).

Thanks

Think the Philips branded equivalents are Philips Whitevision Ultra HIR2 bulbs -

Could also have a look at Elta Visionpro HIR2 PX22d bulbs - claimed to be 150% brighter than standard halogen bulbs #

Amazon £23.94 for a pair

eBay around £25 a pair

 

# Standard HIR2 bulbs are supposedly around 70% brighter than 'standard halogen'. Some bulb manufacturers compare the brightness of their HIR2 bulbs to 'standard halogen' rather than standard HIR2 bulbs.

Thanks, I'll have a look.  I'm just going to check which ones I put in when I bought it.

Popped one of the bulbs out (see attached photos).  I'm pretty sure I must have done some research on these or got a recommendation, hence me purchasing.

But I'm still not happy with the results. So I'll be purchasing one of the recommendations from Frostyballs, can't be any worse than these.

Blue coloured bulbs are very poor light source. Any other clear halogen bulb is better than those

Order placed for the Philips White Visions from Power bulbs.

Thanks for people's input/advice.
