Default Mk2 VTR Headlight Bulbs

Hi there,

As a cheap little upgrade I'm looking to replace the bulbs in my headlights to something better.

I don't really know anything about this subject so ideally I'm looking for some product recommendations. Nothing too expensive.

Cheers

you want some silvertec bulbs for your indicators there about £10 they flash orange but ar chrome this will improve the lights brilliantly. then get some blue sidelght bulbs whci will make the chrome reflective part of the light blue,as will some xeonon effect bulbs in the ice blue form there about £15 from halfords. hope that helps

halfords do some well nice ones for around £20 quid a bulb

colour is ultra blue, and they give off proper CRISP light

they really are good upgrade, since the mk2 has clear headlights, the light will be more intense and blue.... try them out, i would reccommend them for the price

i had them on my headlights and foglights....

Are they the same as the ones you posted? Are they worth it over the cheaper alternatives on ebay?

Id say they are worth the money yeah. Theyre not like proper HIDs but theyre much much better than std halogens. Theyre proper white.
