Headlight Bulbs

[FREESTYLE_MX]

Hi,
I am in need of a new set of headlight bulbs for my VR. I have done a search, but didnt really find my answer. I`m wondering what the best headlight globes are? I was looking at the Philips blue vision, anyone using these bulbs? Xenon were suppose to be good as well, but not to sure. Also what wattage of bulbs do I buy, H3 60watt??????

Cheers Ash

I'll second that. The Bluevision are an excellent globe, mine have lasted for years, one finally blew last week, so its been replaced with the same again. H4 is the correct size for the main headlights, and the H3 bulb is used for the inboard high beam, and the fog lights found in the Calais Series II, and the SS commodores.

Cheers

How hard is it to replace the bulbs in the fog lights?

I'm picking up my calais in the morning (11 hours to go woohoo!) and I'll probably go nuts on new bulbs.. going to supercheap for idler pulley and bulbs for side indicators (clear) anyway and headlights was something i wanted to do in the esteem... the old ones were crappy as.

I'm not big on the bluevisions... told the philips premiums are good and not blue tint.. any truth in this?

From memory, you need to remove the back of the fog light cover, and you will then have access to the globe and its holder. I prefer the white light of the bluevisions, compared to normal halogen bulbs... but it comes down to individual preference I guess. The blue visions are still 60/55 watts, just like normal bulbs, just that they have the white colour.

Yeah I've got the Phillips blueys and they're great. A nice, clear, crisp light (nothing like the old, dim yellowing sh!t on my VL!)

I did a search and got these results (just searching headlights) that will probably answer your question.
