    Default Globe advice

    hey guys just looking for some advice on which globes to get.
    at present in my ss lights i have narva ultra blues H4 low H1 high and wedge parker
    now im doing a monaro front end conversion and there are some new bulbs in narva's collections so im looking for opinions
    at present i love the light set up i have,its the clear white light that i like and i want to replicate that.
    im thinking ultra blue H1 low;normal H9 high;and Artic Plus 50 H3 Fog
    for both the H1 and H3 narva do a plus 50,plus 100,blue plus 90 and artic plus 50. would i be better of downgrading colour for something longer?

    Do a search it's been covered. But anyway let's just go over everything again. Blue is a shitty colour for headlights. Go the plus 100's you won't look back.

    They are a clear white colour which is what you want. The bluer the globe the less light output. I would say your old globes actually have worse light output then factory.

    In the monaro lights would it be better to run a h9 Narva globe or a plus 100 h11?

    I would go the plus 100 H11 if they fit ok. Or you could go high beam HID's. Hide the ballast well enough and the cop's won't know. Also as it's only high beam you won't have to worry about adjustment etc.

    If its the genuine monaro headlights u have u can also use the H9 globe in the H11 socket by taking out the notch on the H9 globes socket so it fits, it apparently gives u an extra 30% of light on the road and being ony 10W more it wont effect the headlights or oncomming traffic. ive done this, cheapest mod 2 do b4 gettin HID's.

    Narva only do a normal globe for the H9 and the h11 comes in a plus 100 :/ I have no idea which would be better
