HIDs - It's what I would recommend. You can get it from HID-Direct, make sure you get the H7r ones so you don't blind other road users and p*** them off. Another highly recommended seller which I have notice is Rizla on this forum, you can also drop him a PM.

 

H7R are a must really for standard headlights. Also get metal bases, rizlas are

 

There bulbs are brilliant. Made a huge difference in lighting the road.

Second that. Best standard bulb you can buy. H1 and H7

 

Thanks for the replies guys, does Rizla have a thread or anything?

Also would highly recommend him yeah.

 

Anyone got any pictures of those bulbs that you guys sent me for amazing (Philips 12972-XVS2 H7 X-Treme Vision 100% Kit (2 Bulbs))

Want to see what they'll look like

 

They are the next best thing to HID

in operation or the actual bulb?

 

Both, assuming they'll fit on a 09 corsa?

I just got my corsa less than a month ago and the bulb on the left hand side has died so I thought i'd buy some white ones

 

Watch this.

Hmm, out of xtreme or crystal

 

You will need 2 sets h7 and h1.

I opted for xvision

 

wait, why would i need 2 sets for h7 and h1? (whatever h1 and h7 is lol)

 

2 sets in total. You have 4 bulbs to replace. Lol

 

and the amazon link you sent me, the pictures shows that the light colour is yellow, not white :S

 

If you want white bulbs you're better off looking at MTEC Super Whites. These are pure white however the output is nowhere near as good as HID's or the X-Treme vision bulbs.

http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/mtec-12v-55w-super-white-hid-class-upgrade-bulbs/

That's the link for them.

 

I'd recommend HIDS. I had Ring Ultimas in before but they where still yellow and decided I'd give a go with the HIDS. Pm rizla of here, got mine from him, quality kit and easy to fit.

For what it's worth, here's my 2 penneth.........

I bought Ring xenonmax H7 (pack of 2) - 'Usp' is "upto 100% more light"..... I don't have a light meter so can't measure it lol, but I would say that they are a damn sight better than bog standard h7's, I don't even bother putting 'full beam' on at times as they light the road up pretty well.

Oh and it only took about 10 mins to change both over - none of this taking the bumper off bullocks!!!

 

Okay guys, apparently the Phillips Diamond Vision H7 bulbs are illegal on UK roads? :S

 

Correct!
But that doesn't stop some people from using them on the road - regardless of whether they dazzle other road users or not..........there's a reason why they're illegal.............. it's just a case of what you can get away with, if you choose to go that route.

I upgraded (for want of a better word) mine because I wanted better quality bulbs than the usual £5 motor factor specials.......lol

 

The Phillips x-vision bulbs are fully road legal EU/UK They give off really good light. Compared to standard.

Diamond vision is a poor mans hid. (Effect)

Not legal in EU^^^

Seeing the pictures for x-vision, the colour is yellow, i wanted white
I'm very protective when it comes to money

 

Hmmm, according to a seller on eBay (eBay company shop) they're aren't illegal as he doesn't sell anything illegal. Jeez, someone make there mind up! :')

 

There not illegal to sell them just illegal for street use

You will need two sets in order to do a full replacement. 1 set of h7 and one set of h1. those are the bulb types

H7 is your dipped beam. H1 is your full beam.

HID kits are the best. Rizla on here has a good rep. In order to install HID you have to modify slightly to make it fit.

Philips bulbs are the best standard halogen in my opinion. Diamond vision will give a hid 4000k look. straight swap

Buy cheap and don't expect wonders

Price wise

HID £45 - £55 a set (don't buy cheap HID KITS) Rizla has a good rep and many on here can vouch.
Phillips £19-23 a set

So hopefully from this info you can make an informed Decision

As above ^^^^^^

Read all that.

 

Sorry Wes, thanks for your help! I think I'm going to go with the x-treme, i don't fancy wasting £20+ on diamonds and get pulled over all the time, thanks for your help!

 

You need two types.

H7 - DIPPED BEAM

And H1 FULL BEAM

Both purchased! Thank you
