Sorry for al the questions - just trying to get my head around this headlight upgrade thing.  |
Yes - the same models as you guys in NZ. I have noticed a 20-30% increase in illumination on low beams, as a result of replacing the OEM's with nightbreakers. Possibly because the OEM's were quite old & tired. Interestingly, they were made in Hungary of all places and a brand I've never heard of before (not Philips). So definitely worth the eBay wait from a UK seller (about 1/2 the price of local offerings).
