Legal Green, Purple, Yellow, Blue Headlight Bulbs Now?

reeac

How many bulbs do you chaps need? I've had one of my cars for over 9 years and another for over 13 years and never had a bulb burn out in either.

I realise the thread is about headlight bulbs but the same rules on permitted colours apply to front marker bulbs too so my tale of woe is equally relevant.

I've just fitted my 3rd set of front LED side light bulbs in 3 years. The first set failed the MOT because they were too blue but weren't very bright either. The second set also failed an MOT for being too blue but at least were quite bright. One of these failed at about 11 months old just after I'd put them back in.

The 3rd set of LEDs are very white and very bright and with the next MOT due in a few months I'm hoping that the original filament bulbs can remain as spares.

So far I can thoroughly recommend these.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281529176657?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&var=580554238863&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT# and at only £4.79p for 2 including postage they were a bargain.

Wouldn't leaving the original bulbs in be more of a bargain?.

That would be too easy.

Plus LEDs give way more light per watt of power and they are safer for brake lamps because of their instant full brightness. There is no delay between hitting the brakes and the bulb emitting bright red light.

Only my indicator and headlamp bulbs are filaments. All others are LEDs.
