Hey guys, I've got a VR wagon, and I've been looking at some new headlight globes.
I don't want to spend a fortune and since the headlamps themselves are in alright condition I don't fancy buying new ones, so higher wattage globes are out.
There's two options I have been considering though:
1) A set of Narva "Plus 50" globes for the headlamps.
2) White xenon look globes.
I'd like to get a bit more light as most of my driving is in rural areas and the extra light is always a help, so in the regard the Plus 50s seem like a good idea.
On the other hand, the white look would be nice, and all the companies talk up how much better the white light is. That would mean three sets of globes though (headlamps, high beam lamps and parkers) and they're more expensive (my local auto shop had the Narva ones btw).
So my question is: who's got experience with either sort of globe, and which is better? Do the Plus50s really give off that much more light? Is the white light any better to drive by or would I just be paying the money for the cosmetics of it all. Any other traps I should be careful of?
And while I'm asking about headlights, what is the go with part numbers for the globes? There's a number printed on the caps on the lamps, but they don't seem to be the same format as any of the part numbers used for globes in stores. I know that I can just ask at Auto1 or wherever, but I'm curious myself.
Thanks for any help people, Shayne.
