Daytime driving lights.

[Hail22]

That reminds me I wanted to add a signature to my posts. I have the GTi so what lights do I have. The 2 low and high beam of each?

So that means I need 2 x H7 then correct?

You would need two packs of H7 = 4 globes.

2 - low beam
2 - high beam

So does that mean that one light will admit a lower light and the other will admit higher? Can this be done... on the same globes?

[Hail22]

Low beam is the standard beam you run while driving at night.

High Beam is the beam used for extra illumination, warning drivers, or letting lane hogs/incompetent 4x4 drivers to move out of the overtaking lane.

I believe they're the same, I may be wrong!

Yeah I get that but how can the same H7 globe admit different levels of output?

I was reading this and it seems the difference the connectors and the fact the H4 has two filaments.

Yes.

For a H4 bulb, yes.

They don't.

Yes.

But you don't use H4 bulbs, so forget about them.

Those are the Osram Nightbreaker plus...holy ****!

Nice! Very tempted to upgrade the lights now..

[Bassik]

That's a professional photo though. I wouldn't expect it to look that awesome!

So are the fog lights H8 then?

I'd say the white balance is off as well - if you're after a realistic representation.

Yes.

Hmmmm

Here is an unedited photo of nightbreakers on the right.

and there is the Osram cool blue hyper white (diamond vision equivelant) on the left.



By the way Bassik...went to supercheap today...there were over 4 different leds to choose from, if you still have the packet could you take a photo and post it up please?


Here is a set of DV's on a passat i found on google images:

Ahh I threw it away so only have them installed in the car. I wouldn't recommend them anyways. I just bought some single LED's from eBay and I would probably recommend those... they should be in the mail by the time I get home so I can see how they are.

Btw I am taking the ones at the front and putting them inside as interior leds. I must say though my number plate led job looks awesome!


And I think I'm still going with the Phillips Crystals.

Looking forward to seeing some photos of them if you can provide the link to the ebay listing for the number plate and side lights it would be much appreciated

if they're a good match with the DVs i'm going to place an order for the Philips DVs...just wondering if I should buy x2 packets of them (low beam and high) hopefully there is no difference >.<

I'll post pics tonight and can't link eBay as I don't have rights at work.

Keep in mind the DV's are very blue and have been noted to reduce the brightness. If you want blue then go for it but I prefer white and clear!

What else is there to choose from to gain a white/clear without going to a HID conversion? :/

Either that or take a leap of faith with the Osram Cool Blue Hyper white 5k.

Now the UK forums are talking big about something called Razo -Metal white, i will take a look.

Here is one photo of the Razo's
