 |
|
Having had an import Supra before, and being very scared driving down the A3 for the first time, are the Deli headlights just as rubbish? I know they've got those yellow fog light things on but what are the dipped beams like? Is it worth upgrading the bulbs? Getting HIDs? Cleaning the plastics?
Any recommendations on bulbs?
And while I'm here what bulbs would I need? Do they need 'modifying' to fit JDM bulb holders?

Well I tend to find some oncoming drivers 'flash' me, as though mine are on full, but they are ordinary extra white bulbs of the correct wattage and aligned correctly.
However when I flash my full beams back at them, so they can see they are not on full, they seem to loose control of their steering and brake in shock.

| As far as I'm aware mine has standard bulbs and have no problem driving at night. |

My old bus had them rubbish 'blue' bulbs in, couldn't see a thing on dip.
Replaced with Osram Silverstars or similar from Halfrauds (2 for 1 offer)
Totally different, nice and bright and as Lewis says, legal.
p.s.
They don't get a good review sometimes, but I have never been able to fault them, just put a set in me vaaain.

I replaced mine a couple of months ago. the stock ones were okay but not great...so I bought some Halfords Extreme Brilliance bulbs - they were buy 1 get 1 free and the difference is amazing for 15 quid.
They are bright white and only took 10 minutes to fit...highly recommended  |
