Because it makes it more difficult for people to find answers, which is what this forum is supposed to be about :roll:

We're all for a bit of banter but if every thread veers off topic, gets duplicated or filled up with pointless posts that don't really say anything the whole "Technical Forum" becomes worthless. :cry:

No I was agreeing with him Sam! As much as I admire FarmerPugs enthusiasm the amount of off topic threads and replies are getting a bit much now.

Re: Ring XenonMax H7 bulbs

Post by DaiRees »

So I've had and fitted the Ring XenonMax bulbs and they're very good, again much brighter than standard bulbs with a cleaner, whiter light. I forgot to take pics when there was one standard and one ring in and it's pointless now because the camera will just show lights :lol: :oops: , but I'd say they're easily as good as the Philips +100% ones, and they're about half the price 8)

Here's the link again, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ring-RW1077-100-B ... 727wt_1153

I've used the Phillips xtreme bulbs, but after a recent blown bulb I've bought some Osram Nightbreaker bulbs, really good as bright if not brighter than the Phillips and half the price.
