Looking to upgrade my:

Sidelight bulbs
Dipped Beam bulbs
Full Beam bulbs
Foglight bulbs

Which are the Best bulbs for each? and also the 2nd best as an alternative?

cheers, and please dont move as it will never get answered

When answered maybe mods could make it as a sticky in the lighting section?

Thanks

I had a set of the normal vision plus and they were no different

Philips Vision Plus:

Awarded the highest possible allocade by Auto Express magazine in their 2005 bulb test. Here's what they said...

"For the first time here is a blue bulb worthy of our Best Buy award. If you must have the xenon look, the Blue Vision is the best of those tested"

cost me bout £8 for both sets. meain and full beam, well worth the money, just swoped em bak over for MOT time... thats it really, cops did pull me but never asked questions bout the bulbs or owt..

Philips Blue vision are great; I had them in my 106. They're subtle but nice & bright with a hint of cool blue, very stylish! In this pic the bulbs were 1 year old & it was daylight...so its a pretty pants representation really :woops:
