after realising tonight my bulbs are quite poor id like to get some ultra bright white bulbs, the brighter the better, do i just need sidelights and the main bulbs?

what would you recommend? dont mind having to buy online but halfords or similar would be preferred..

Shop around, you'll probably get a set of sidelight bulbs for free. Make sure you get real Nightbreakers though, and not fake ones.

Depends which version of morettes you have,

The old version are H4 bulbs

The new version are h7

These are better for the bedroom though tbh. Still a bloody good bulb.

ill find out tomorrow bud, i presume the bulb will have either h4 or h7 stamped on it?

its easy to tell the difference, the two big outer lenses are they clear or clear with like lines / ribbed effect.

Have a look at my progress thread...that will show the diffrence between the 2 types. At the beginning i had h4's now i have h7

thanks, im pretty sure the inner lense is clear and the outer ribbed/lines

so that'll be the older style then? h4?

J222JRA

When you put your highbeam on does the middle set come on?

if not 'Ring' do a wiring kit, helps at night with a good lamp.

Ok, so i got some xenon bulbs from a seller on here, and i ordered the h4's but it turned out i have h1 bulbs, also ordered some led sidelights from ebay which are crap.

Is there like a full kit i can buy? will it be H1's for both the dipped and full beam?

think im gonna go for the osram nightbreakers but would i need two sets?

Just ordered some Philips bluevision headlight bulbs for my Twingo and have also fitted some superbright LED side lights.

Bluevisions got rated top in auto express's tests I think.

im not to keen on blue bulbs, but ive heard good things about xeonon's sidelight bulbs.

is it right that both the bulbs in each of my morettes are h1's?

i thought one would be h1 and the other h4?

Mike_420

sorry for all the questions but is it right that both the bulbs in each of the morettes are H1?

I though the main is H4 and the other H1?

Is it possible to fit H4? and H1 together? even though they have H1's in each?
