Er what the Fudge is a Globe Shop ? Sounds good if they exist, i like single digit car parts. Just like the time i had to buy a new brake pedal rubber for the Mrs suby, cost me $4 from the dealer.
The real question is were the phillips and the no name ones any better than the originals ?
I had narva plus 50 in my old commy, and they were really only 10or 20 % better than standard.

I stupidly bought a set of 80, and it had parkers in it as well, i put them in and wanted to take them back for a refund, biggest waiste of money i have ever spent. I'd just get the standard globe you buy off the shelf. IMO

I bought a set of calibre from supercheap.Cost about $45 for the pair Found them to be whiter than what was in .But the holden lights are crap compared to my wifes Aurions. They aren`t HID. look more like house style bulbs but 300% better lighting of the road

I just bought and installed Phillips CrystalVision 4300k globes in the parkers, low and hi beams of my VY. I was going to get standard replacements just for the globes that had blown, but I opted for these because I drive up through Emerald at least once a fortnight and the extra light will help with the blind corners and the cockheads that like to sit on 70 in the 100 zones.. :) They also come in H7 and I would recommend them to anyone who wants something noticeably better than the standard white/yellow.
