Default Headlights

Hi Guys
Thinking about upgrading the Headlight globes, fog light globes and the number plate globes in my WS Zetec. has any body done any of these and what's a good option. I used Phillips whit lights on my BA, but they never seemed to last that long. Don't know if it was the car or the globes. some direction would be good thanks.

Hey Cyborg, I've upgraded the High, Low and parkers to Phillips Bluevision and haven't had any problems so far (although they've only been in for a few months) but my mate has had them in his VS Bombadore for 3 years now and hasn't had any issues. Also the Bluevisions give a nice crisp white light AND are brighter with a better range. I might try to post some photos this week.

Thanks for the link. Went to jaycar after work today and pick up LED number plate lights. Already fitted before dinner, closed the garage door turned off the lights. They look mad. Much better then the yellow factory globe.
