replacing headlight bulbs

[Mrk_Mickey]

Stupid question, i know, but i can't check as it's raining and it's probably easiest to ask here anyway.

I'm looking for new bulbs for the stock dual-chamber headlights, and was wondering A)which bulbs do i use e.g H4, H7, and B) how do i get them out/replace new ones?

Cheers

P.S: A guy at Supercheap Auto told me about www.powerbulbs.com - they have headlight bulbs for quite reasonable prices and ship for free worldwide!

H1 bulbs and get the Philips CrystalVision bulbs $95 and they are worth it!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Are they what you've got, Steve? I thought we had H4 bulbs
www.powerbulbs.com don't have the crystalvisions unfortunately, but they do have a mad range for mad prices...xenon-gas filled Philips bulbs for like 45 bucks AUS delivered to my door

[DubSteve]

I had Philips CrystalVisions I sold them to Raymond only had them for 1 1/2 months as I bought actual HID kit, which are H1s I thought my bulbs where H4s but theyre not there H1s.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Righto, sweet. I think I might get the Philips Blue Vision H1 bulbs..46 bucks and you get free W5W parker bulbs in same colour with 3300K intensity! Worth like 25 bucks for those as well.

I think there Bluevision where Illegal when I was looking at them and the guy said it himself that they were illegal, and the crystalvisions weren't.

[Mrk_Mickey]

oh..damn..is that cause they're too blue? Where can I get those crystalvisions? From that shop in Burwood?

[DubSteve]

Yeah from Burwood Westfields they were pretty good pricing and service was pretty good to!

I can't remember the actual name of the store but its on the top leve, half way between the food court and the Samsund shop.

blue visions are a bad idea unless you want them just for the blue look. they reduce your visibility

agreed - indeed they do.
anything between 4000k - 8000k on the colour chart is a good (and legal) look.

I have the Phillips 4600k ones on my low beam, very nice, very white light. Mind you with my headlights I had to mod up the parkers to get them in

[Mrk_Mickey]

I'm looking for a blue-white tint, HID style type of thing, you know..
Do any of the H1 bulbs on www.powerbulbs.com suit this?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Hmm..this can't be true..

..can it?

I don't think that will fit. The 9004 bulbs will fit the American version of the Golf's headlight, but we use the H1.

i think the shop your thinking of at Burwood Westfield is Motoquip - there's a chain of them. The other one i can think of is at Hornsby Westfield
