Hello, just the info I was looking for. Do you know if Halfords - or similar - do a bulb kit? I'm off abroad and need to take one with me.

Cheers

Oops.......they will probably last you in the region of three months and you'll need a new set. There are quite a few on here that have had several sets of these bulbs and wont use them again; me included. When they are lit they are fantastically bright and very white in colour; they just don't seem to last more than three months in a GP though.

Yes but get them from Click-Parts (there's a link in the members offers page with a 15% discount code when you buy online) and there all the same to replace, difficult the first time, but easy afterward.

And do the Halford ones work if you try in another vehicle or connected to a 12v supply? as not unheard of for bulbs to have been banged about and filament damaged.

Hmm not true 'Gas Discharge' bulbs as fitted to the VTS though and I wonder how long they will last at that price?

Hi chaps!
One true thing is that Osram night breakers won't last, yet they are bright - and white. My c4gp -07 "burns" about 2-3 pair H7 every year and about same amount of H6W front park bulbs. Never H1 long beams even we use them a lot in Finland. And Never any of back bulb (of course not the led ones) except couple back register lights.
