Headlight dipped beam bulbs, D9 110 HDI

[rustybullets]

HI,
Got one of my dipped beams gone, and need to replace.

Can anyone give me a heads up on what sort of bulb it is,
and recommend which are best, as I mighrt aswell upgrade them both together.
(ps, don't recommend HID conversion, just want to stick to Halogen.)

Thanks.

Cheers guys,

Had a look on the bay, and can find

Osram nightbreakers for about £13,

and Philips x-treme vision for about £21

Anyone used these, or would recommend?

Is it a case of go with Philips. More expensive, but you get what you pay for quality wise.

Sorry for all the questions but not had to buy a halogen bulb for years, the other car is HID and haven't had one fail yet!

Too right they cost a fortune,got mine off ebay for about a third of the Halford price.

Amazon is pretty good for bulb price's.
and the postage cost if any is fair,

As for the Philips bulbs ive got them in My 306 theyre megga bright..
other road users arnt/or dont seemed to be impressed tho, ive had one or two flash me to turn the main beam off
its not been on,

I just bought these Osram Nightbreakers: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380517690180 (Pair for £10.95).

Had them in previously (and they both blew last night when I turned them on )

I've tried quite a few different bulbs over the years, as it went through a phase of eating them quite regularly. I've been really happy with these.

I used to go to the Auto Express web site & search for bulb tests.Once a year the test loads of bulbs in a light tunnel.Osrams used to come out tops.Since my car eats headlight bulbs i just get Morrisons bulbs at their petrol stations.£2.99 each.I use to have Osram silver stars which were great,but i understand the nightbreakers are the best now.
