Light bulb

gungo · Nov 28, 2016

Looking to put in new headlights and think I should probably get some new bulbs.
Certainly want to replace the dipped beam bulbs.
Anyone know the numbers, eurocarparts lists a load of bulbs H1 up to H7 I think.
Not sure which numbers equate to which light. The car parts site is pretty vague.
Cheers for any help.

Fancy bulbs come with a short life span, disadvantage of being super bright

By uprated bulbs have been in for a few years no problems. Just go with osram or the new phillips bulbs the ring bulbs are worth a look as well.

Chris if your looking at new side light bulbs Check out the Osram 501 leds. Well worth the price. Have them fitted in both my cars.

Anyone know the part numbers.
It looks like I can get most makes from eurocarparts with a big discount buy still not sure which numbers correspond to which lights.

I get the option of an H1, H4 and H7. If I was to get all new bulbs, I'm pretty sure I would need: side lights, headlights, full beam, and indicators.
Is this wrong, are there any bulbs that do 2 things.
Thanks for the help.

Side lights are 501's Other bulbs are H1/H7 and fog lights are hb3's If my memory serves me right. But probably not.

gungo · Nov 28, 2016

I've gone for H1's and H7's nightbreakers. As far as I can tell that should cover the dipped and full beam. Sides and indicators I guess I will just put in the old ones.
Thanks for the help.
2 sets of bulbs, 5 litres of oil and an oil filter for £50, seems alright.

Osram 501 4000k LEDs bought, cheers @Miller

No worries happy to help. Expensive compared to other led bulbs but well worth it.

So what are the headlamps? H1 or H7?

Rik Perry · Nov 30, 2016
