headlight globes

[michael_pomroy]

which globes are peoples personal favourites? i like the phillips blue visions, but everyone to there own i guess

Yes, same here.

Philips Blue Visions have been great in my car, have had the same set for more than 3 years, and they good quality, and great value for money in my opinion.

How much do they cost?

 

[Harvs82]

About $50 for two of the Blue Vision H4 bulbs, which are the main headlight bulb for the VS. I have done my high beams as well, as I do a lot of night driving, they are H3, but I can't remember how much they cost, I think it was a little bit more.

The other thing to remember is that the Blue visions are LEGAL, whereas the diamond vision and silver visions are not, yes they are bluer/whiter, BUT they actually put less light on the road...

Mmmm i think i need new globes.. headlights are getting a bit yellow I think they are in the wrong position (seems a very short throw) but can't seem to change it..

Not big on the blue ones (i assume the bluevisions you speak of shine a blue tint) but something brighter and clear would be nice..

They do have a bit of a blue tint, but the Bluevisions give off a white light.

When I travel behind my mates, they say that my headlights look very white, not blue as such. Even to just look at they look a lot whiter than the standard headlight bulbs, but the whiter light is very good at night, as it reflects better off white line markings etc, thats what I have found anyway.

Might also be an idea to get your headlights aimed after you put in new globes, I had mine done at the local GMH dealer for $20, and they are spot on.

It has an adjustment thingo on the lights... but doesnt seem to move them?

I have tried to adjust mine. It seems to be impossible to do properly. If I align the low beams the high beams are way out of wack and vise virsa. I found a happy medium and left it at that but they still annoy me being slightly off.

You'll probably be better off getting a dealer or auto elec to do the aiming, they usually use a specific aiming board, or a machine to get it right. For the sake of $20, its probably just better off going down that road and having it done properly in the first place.
