I’ve got Nighbreakers in my main and Halfords heavy duty in the dipped as nightbreakers were both expensive and short lived as I’m one of those people in the habit of getting in the car and turning the lights on even in summer.
Don’t really see the point of putting them in the dipped beams, they can’t show up any more road because the reflectors is pointing them down!
And +1 for polishing the lense, my plastic ones are sandblasted to almost milk-bottle opacity after 100,000 miles, t-cut and a rotary tool does an OK job.
is there really such a thing as ‘winter’ lights?
Yes, bulbs are rated by colour temperature, cooler temperatures have a yellow hue, hotter ones are white or even blue. Some people prefer different temperatures.
Do ppl really go to the bother of changing to brighter bulbs in the winter?
No, but arguably if you need new bulbs better ones are of more use in winter.
