MK5 Bulbs

[JoshRedCupra]

Hi all,

I "upgraded" my bulbs about a month into ownership. I now realise this was very much a downgrade however I'm stupid and threw all the original bulbs

I now want to replace my: main, dipped and all 4 sidelights

Firstly, are these bulbs good for both main and dipped:

and does anyone have any suggestions for my sidelights, as these are currently not working at all!

Many thanks!

EDIT:

The problem I have at the moment is that my current dipped and main are a nice white colour, but very low light output and I can't see too much when driving at night!!!

The Philips bulbs should be good for your dipped and beam, so long as you get the right ones (H7 I believe). Can you let me know which you get and whether they are any good as I am trying to find decent ones too.

For sidelights i use:

as these do not cause the bulb error like the led's do (even the error free ones).

You say the sidelights don't work at all, do you mean they are useless bulbs or they simply don't turn on when you switch them on??

They worked for a bit, then they started flashing, now they dont turn on at all lol

LED's I think :/

I never liked them, I got some and they caused nothing but problems.

Stick with the white bulbs I think.

Philips do some white 501 bulbs for side lights as well I think.

Problem is I want some bright ones that I can see well with!

They work well and the light output is pretty good. If you want the best light output, go for something like Philips Xtreme Vision, they are not the whitest but they are not yellow either.

If you want good halogen light get something like the Philips extreme vision or osram nightbreaker unlimited, I personally use the h4 variant and they are much better than regular bulbs dipped and a million times better than regular bulbs on full beam, for the side light 5w5 use something like Philips white vision or osram cool blue

I've got some osram nightbreakers kicking around, might whack them on and give it a go for a few weeks
