Easiest way would be to grab some Phillips Crystal Vision which has a slight blue tinge or Diamond Vision which is supposed to be bluer.

They are just a simple bulb change, undo the cap behind the headlights no need to take the bar off and plug them in.

They are both ####ing bright though, so make sure you aim them correctly.

cheers mate any idea what globe type i need?

and do i need seperate bulbs for high and low ( im assuming yes because there are to bulbs stock.. but just to be sure)

You do realise blue = less light right?

[Grennan]

Low/High beam will be a H4.

Not entirely true.

More light (as in HERE I AM YOU CANT MISS ME), less distance.

as long as the distance isnt less than stock there shouldnt be a problem.. what would you recomend wraith and do i need 4 H4 globes then..?

You need 2 and they come in a twin pack for anywhere between 50-90 bucks depending on what you get (so...1 twin pack).

Ive personally got Xtremevision +100% in my car. They are ####ing bright, they have a long view distance.

If you want a clearer, white light try Bluevision (the name is misleading) or Essential Vision, they are both better than standard lights and have a white look.

DiamondVision which is the bluest light is probably on par with standard bulbs as far as view distance goes and Crystal Vision which is not as blue but has a very slightly better view distance than standard.

could i mix them.. for instance crystal vision for lows and xtreme vision for highs...

does extreme vision have any tint of blue or just straight white..

[Grennan]

Theyre the same bulb. H4 is a High/low beam bulb.

Phillips has...essentially 3 ranges of enhanced globe.

Xtreme = See further distances
BlueVision/Essential Vision = Clearer white light
Crystal/Diamond Vision = More visible to other drivers/stylish look.

So it depends what you want. Xtreme doesnt have a blue, it looks whitish with perhaps a tinge of yellow like the original lights. Bluevision is a white light. Crystal vision is white with a slight blue tinge. Diamond vision is blue but standard quality.

Just go Xtreme Vision if you can. Grennan I have no idea what your on about but I suggest you do some research. It's been covered many times blue is not good for light out put. End of story.

I ####ing know what they do I sell them all day everyday. I have to explain it to all the herp a derps that come in and say I want blue lights.

Blue is not good for DISTANCE. Its fantastic for being seen by other drivers. Which is what I said.

If you want to be a wanker then sure.

[Grennan]

As long as theyre aimed well, and you dont travel to far out of the suburbs that dont have street lights theyre fine. Annoying as #### when theyre up your arse and the person doesnt know how to aim, but as you said...wankers.

Theyre designed for show. I sure as hell wouldnt want them if I was driving down the coast one evening or in heavy rain.

Sorry for derailing your thread OP. Pet hate. People who think blue bulbs = zomg uleh look at my light output.

[ALL-STOCK-VY]

lol thanks anyway guys.. went down to autobarhn and ended up going with the blue 90% NARVA kit... apparently is only a little less distance then the 100% philips kit and the slightest tinge of blue and there adr approved.. keeping legal ftw!! and they ended up heaps cheaper coz of specials ect.. hopefully works out alright nd if u wana see them in action check my thread in the next couple of days..

What's involved in aiming the headlights? I'm doing the same to my VY II Acclaim. Replacing the actual headlights with SS Headlights, but I want to put in white bulbs before I do.

i parked a car about 5 meters infront and comming and when the front bar is still off adjust them.. using the 3 screws that hold the light in place... i think u can do it with the bar still on but you have to remove the grill to get to the third light..

if people are flashing you.. then u know uve done something wrong lol
