But Hemmi... with all our members we havent had negative feedback on the standard globes...
I'll fit the original bulbs back in at the weekend.
Hi Sergey Been a while since you posted..Your car still going well?
They are user serviceable part (just ), but you don't want to be using uprated wattage without uprating the wiring, and probably using a relay...

If they are not then maybe that partially explains why they are so bloody dull and perhaps the running of a decent wire directly from the battery and adding relay control might be sufficient on its own to lift the brightness to something useful. No?
When I said it would probably need a relay I meant a different one or extra one. I'm sure there there will be one already but I've not focused on it's rating, or it's corresponding fuse. If it's 20A or more I guess you might jusy get away with it, but it wouldn't be for me.The lights are quite acceptable with four nightbreaker bulbs in.
Also best to play it safe by not having the lights on full (park lights o/k) when starting the car as apparently in some situations a slight surge can occur which can blow the globes .. This was what Autobarn diagnosed as a possible cause when they inspected my first set of Phillips +80's which only lasted a month or so (and were fortunately replaced free of charge)
