Can anyone recommend a LED headlight bulb replacement that:
1 Fits
2 Has a good beam pattern
3 Doesn't interfere with the radio!

I've never bothered with these bulbs, or hids good quality kits cost over £85.00 a pair.
I use Philips extreme vision +130, very good bulbs & in my opinion better than osram night breakers
They certainly last longer & I feel they light up the road better, oh & there legal 8)

Thanks Dirty,
I've always bought Nightbreakers but I might give the Phillips version a go if you reckon they are good.
Re. the LED's you can buy a pair for the same price as the Phillips, I did try a pair of H4's for the lads 106 as his lights were poor even with Nightbreakers, however the retaining clip wouldn't go over the heatsink, so we tried them in the other lads Arosa where they did fit but drowned the radio in static. I got refunded.
The beam pattern looked correct but I'm not convinced they actually gave more visibilty.

I can find very little on headlamp law, and nothing on replacement bulbs. Yes it's a modification but so is any non PSA part.
